Description
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN TRANSPORTATION DECISIONMAKING TPE12-30 Agency: The National Transit Institute Date for receipt of proposals: Friday, April 29, 2011 The National Transit Institute (NTI) is seeking proposals from qualified professionals to facilitate its existing Public Involvement in Transportation Decisionmaking course. In addition, NTI may periodically request proposers to edit/update the existing course materials. NTI's Public Involvement in Transportation Decisionmaking is a three-day course. Public Involvement is much more than posting notices and holding public hearings. Public participation involves creative thinking, with willingness and ability to interact openly to the public's preferred forms of communication. It is about being sensitive to disparate needs, conflicting priorities, and building partnerships with communities in order to have successful public involvement. It is about giving the public an opportunity to influence transportation decisionmaking from all aspects of a project. This course "walks the talk" by employing public involvement techniques as the means of conveying the key learning outcomes. The course reviews and discusses various time tested and new techniques for involvement. It is a joint effort among FTA's Office of Planning, NTI, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Office of Planning, and the National Highway Institute (NHI) and was recently updated to reflect changes in the Federal Transportation reauthorization. This course seeks to give transit agencies, planners, transportation specialists, communication professionals and others the practical strategies, examples, and tools they need to address new and existing Public Involvement efforts in their regions and communities, and engage in better decisionmaking in transportation. A copy of the complete Request for Proposal #1583 can be obtained through at http://procure.rutgers.edu under the category "Active Bids". The login: RFP1583 Password: s5cmYAfC (case and space sensitive). Rutgers University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing opportunities to small business, minority-owned businesses and/or female-owned businesses. These businesses are encouraged to submit proposals.
