Abstract
At a 1972 national conference sponsored by the National Academy of Science Transportation Research Board, citizen participation in transportation planning in the United States was defined as:
“An open process in which the rights of the community to be informed, to influence, and to get a response from government are reflected and, in which a representative cross section of affected citizens interact with appointed and elected officials on issues of transportation supply at all stages of planning and development. The participants in the process identify and examine all reasonable alternatives and their consequences to assist the appropriate decision makers in choosing the course that they believe is needed and that they feel will best serve the needs and objectives of the community”
