ETOD: Centering Community Vision and Power

Building power with communities is vital to envisioning more equitable transportation investments. So, let’s have a powerful discussion on the topic. Break into small groups and reflect on the role community visioning plays in the local planning context. How are you moving from community-engaged to community-led planning? How are public, private and community-based planning efforts in your region leading with vision? What’s working and what’s hard? This is an opportunity to share stories from your own experience, hear from others and share resources for participatory planning.
