opportunities for the public to be involved in the identification of social, economic, and environmental impacts of proposed transportation decisions Engagement of the public in service planning and development is at the forefront of a responsive operation The ongoing public participation planning ensures that:     Potentially affected community members will have an appropriate opportunity to participate in decisions about a proposed activity that will affect their environment and/or health and their ability to participate in life supporting activities; The public’s contribution will influence Lawrence Transit’s decision making; The concerns of all persons and groups participating in the process will be considered in the decision-making process; and Lawrence Transit will seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially impacted Lawrence Transit uses a variety of communication mechanisms to ensure those residing in minority census tracts and those living in non-minority census tracts, persons with low-income, persons with disabilities, and persons with limited English proficiency have an opportunity to participate in service development and changes Lawrence Transit currently reaches out via:      News releases; Website; Social media; Posters on transit vehicles; and Posters in transit offices Public Participation Plan Public involvement is a necessary and integral part of Lawrence Transit’s planning process Lawrence Transit makes a concerted effort to focus on LEP and minority populations in outreach activities as evidenced in Attachment D – Public Outreach Activities 2016 – 2019 log Lawrence Transit reviews all routes and schedules on an annual basis to determine if adjustments are necessary for the following year Public open houses are held early in the year to collect information from the public on community transportation services, whether changes are planned or not Lawrence Transit will follow its Public Participation Plan (PPP) when any of the following are proposed:  New fixed-routes or increases in scheduled service; 2020 -2022 Title VI Program Update Lawrence, Kansas     Route modifications resulting in service reductions or elimination of route(s); A fare increase or change in method of payment; Any major service change that exceeds 10% of the current total service hours, systemwide;

transit administrative offices, on the Lawrence Transit website, and sent to neighborhood associations and local media outlets no less than fourteen (14) days prior to implementation Lawrence Transit works with the University of Kansas (Department of International Student Services), Haskell Indian Nations University, Centro Hispano, and Small World English and International Outreach Service All capital projects such as facility and bus procurements go through the same public process as service and fare changes, but programmed into the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (L-DCMPO) Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which goes through their public process as well Process Service and Fare Changes - Lawrence Transit System and the University of Kansas (KU) review all routes and schedules on an annual basis to determine if changes are necessary Preliminary proposals on route modifications or service changes are then presented to the Public Transit Advisory Committee and KU Transit Commission for their input The Public Transit Advisory Committee (PTAC) is structured to allow public comment at the beginning and end of each meeting and after each motion prior to the vote Transit staff finalizes the recommendations and then performs a Title VI review to develop a plan for public participation Maps and copies of documents outlining the proposed changes are made available to the public at least fourteen (14) days prior to scheduled public open houses These documents are also available for download on the Lawrence Transit website No less than three (3) open houses are held at different times, dates, and accessible locations to provide more detailed information to the public and to gather additional public input Notice of the open houses
