Annual Public Involvement Report
1. Introduction
The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, known as the STIP, is Georgia's four-year transportation and capital improvements program. The STIP is a listing of federally-funded transportation projects within the state that are anticipated to be funded during fiscal years 2013 through 2016 (July 2012 through June 2016). Projects include highway, bridge, public transit, bike, pedestrian, railroad, maintenance, and other improvements. The STIP is developed in coordination with the citizens of Georgia, interested stakeholders, and in direct cooperation with local governments. Projects listed in the STIP are identified through GDOT's ongoing planning processes in keeping with the Governor's strategic goals for Georgia to provide a lean and responsive state government that allows communities, individuals, and businesses to prosper. These projects are vital to supporting GDOT's mission in providing a safe, seamless, and sustainable transportation system that supports Georgia's economy and is sensitive to its citizens and the environment. During STIP development, interested citizens and stakeholders are given the opportunity to review and comment on the state's transportation priorities for the next four years, as set forth in the STIP. The public is given this opportunity through public meetings held throughout the state, and through the Department's website. They are encouraged to provide comments and suggestions on specific projects and on the transportation needs for Georgia. The purpose of this report is to detail the STIP public involvement process undertaken for the FY 2013- 2016 STIP. This report includes documentation of meetings, the comments received from the public, and notification methods undertaken through this process.

Annual Public Involvement Report
2. Public Involvement Process
The primary component of the public outreach effort for the STIP is public meetings. Meetings are held throughout the state, in each of GDOT's six rural districts, which includes all areas that are not part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). A district map is shown in Figure 1 on the following page that also includes MPO boundaries. In MPO areas, transportation projects are not included in the STIP, but are rather a part of each MPO's transportation plan. The purpose of each of these meetings is to present GDOT's proposed STIP and provide an opportunity for the public to provide input and comment on the stated transportation goals and projects. Meeting locations are selected in coordination with each GDOT district. There are several key elements considered in this selection process:
Meeting location accessibility throughout each District and to Environmental Justice (EJ) communities;
Facility compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for ease of access; Public transportation availability; and Level of success of meeting location, if used in previous years. At public meetings, participants were provided with large scale maps that depicted proposed projects included in the proposed STIP, and copies of the proposed STIP were available for review. Citizens were asked to provide comments and suggestions using a provided comment form that could be submitted to a present staff member or mailed to the District office. GDOT staff were on hand to answer questions from attendees, and they provided responses to comments and suggestions that were given on comment forms.

Annual Public Involvement Report

4. Lessons Learned
A component of the annual STIP Public Involvement process is identifying ways to improve the process and increase public participation in future years. Several issues were identified through the 2012 public outreach process by staff or by attendees. These issues are listed below along with proposed solutions for greater engagement.

Table 5. Public Outreach Issues and Proposed Solutions

Issue District 1/Maysville meeting location not adequate; attracted very few people District 6/Carrollton meeting location not adequate; attracted very few people General Low Turnout
Online commenting not available: Many attendees requested viewing project maps and/or filling out comment forms online
More detailed project information was requested at multiple meetings but was not always available

Proposed Solution
Identify new meeting location for 2013
Identify new meeting location for 2013
Potential strategies for increased participation: Utilize GDOT's directional yard signs to indicate meeting locations on day of meeting Utilize communication officers' email databases to send additional meeting notifications (as was done by District 3 in 2012) Provide comment form and/or online survey capability on STIP website Provide STIP meeting maps on STIP website Provide greater information on how to view STIP project information using GeoTRAQS on GDOT's website Make public aware of STIP coordinator's email address on comment forms and STIP website as an additional option for submitting questions and comments Encourage District staff to bring individual project printouts/preconstruction status reports to public meetings for reference beyond that which is provided in Draft STIP.

Statewide Transportation Improvement Program
What is the STIP? The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, known as the STIP, is Georgia's four-year transportation and capital improvements program. The STIP is a listing of federally-funded transportation projects within the state that are anticipated to be funded during fiscal years 2013 through 2016. Projects include highway, bridge, public transit, bike, pedestrian, railroad, and other improvements.
How is the STIP Developed? The STIP is developed in coordination with the citizens of Georgia, interested stakeholders, and in direct cooperation with local governments.

SEE FEDERAL PROJECTS PLANNED IN YOUR AREA OPEN HOUSE MEETINGS ON WORK PLAN

Helen/Maysville, Ga. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) announces open house meetings to solicit input on the Draft FY 2013 - 2016 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, known as the STIP, is Georgia's four-year transportation and capital improvements program. The STIP is a listing of federally-funded transportation projects within the state that are anticipated to be funded during fiscal years 2013 through 2016. Projects include highway, bridge, public transit, bike, pedestrian, railroad, and other improvements. Projects listed in the STIP are identified through GDOT's ongoing planning processes in keeping with the Governor's strategic Goals for Georgia to provide a lean and responsive state government that allows communities, individuals, and businesses to prosper.

The STIP is developed in coordination with the citizens of Georgia, interested stakeholders, and in direct cooperation with local governments. The Draft FY 13-16 STIP IS available on the internet at www.dot.ga.gov/stip.
The Gainesville District Office will sponsor two Open House meetings where the public can view the Draft FY 13-16 STIP, view maps of projects in the local area, discuss project with GDOT staff, and formally offer comments. The meetings are designed for the public and all constituents are encouraged to attend.

An open house is scheduled for Thursday, October 25 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Helen City Hall located at 25 Alpenrosen Street. A second open house is scheduled Thursday, November 1 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Jackson County Parks and Recreation Departments "Pat Bell Conference Center" located at 7020 Highway 82 Spur in Maysville.
The STIP and the open house information only includes projects planned in counties that are not designated as "metropolitan." These Northeast Georgia counties are included in the STIP: Banks, Dawson, Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Jackson, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union and White.
Counties that are designated "metropolitan areas" review all of their projects through their Metropolitan Planning Organization and will have their public review times then. The counties in Northeast Georgia included in Metropolitan Planning Organizations and not a part of the STIP are Clarke, Forsyth, Gwinnett and Hall.
These counties are partially in "metropolitan areas" and partially in rural areas: Barrow, Madison, Oconee and Walton. The STIP includes projects only in the rural areas of these counties.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is committed to providing a safe, seamless and sustainable transportation system that supports Georgia's economy and is sensitive to both its citizens and its environment.

For Immediate Release: Contact: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 Cissy Mc Nure 478.552.4656
GA DOT SEEKS PUBLIC COMMENT ON DRAFT STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
TENNILLE The Georgia Department of Transportation will be presenting the Draft Fiscal Year 2013-2016 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for public review and comment.
The STIP is a four-year program that specifies federally funded transportation projects for non-urban communities in rural Georgia for Fiscal Years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. These projects include new construction; improvements and maintenance for interstates, state routes, and bridges; bicycle and pedestrian

projects; transportation enhancement projects and public transit projects.
The East Central Georgia Tennille District Office will help host two Open House meetings where the public can view the Draft FY 13-16 STIP, view maps of projects, discuss projects with GDOT staff and formally offer comments. The meetings are open to the public and all constituents are encouraged and welcome to attend.
Meetings in East Central Georgia:
Monday, November 5th Wednesday, November 7th 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Milledgeville Mall Dublin Mall 2400 N. Columbia Street 2005 Veterans Boulevard Milledgeville, GA Dublin, GA
The general public is invited to view planned projects for Baldwin, Bleckley, Burke, Dodge, Emanuel, Glascock, Greene, Hancock, Jasper, Jefferson, Jenkins, Johnson, Laurens, Lincoln, McDuffie, Morgan, Oglethorpe, Putnam, Screven, Taliaferro, Treutlen, Warren, Washington, Wilkes and Wilkinson Counties. Projects for Columbia, Newton and Richmond counties will be available for public comment at a later date in a separate meeting as these counties are part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (areas with more than 50,000 in population).
The Draft FY 13-16 STIP will also be available at www.dot.ga.gov/stip . Georgia DOT looks forward to working with the public during the development of the Draft FY 13-16 STIP.
The required planning, environmental, engineering, right of way, funding and construction processes involved in any major transportation project can add years to its schedule. The Georgia DOT nonetheless is committed to improving its program and project delivery. Concept development, preliminary engineering and right of way acquisition processes are being streamlined. Aggressive schedules are being set. And kept; a thousand projects were completed last year. For more information on Georgia DOT, please visit www.dot.ga.gov or subscribe to our Press Release RSS feed. You also may follow us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/GeorgiaDOT) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/gadeptoftrans).

The Thomaston District Office will assist in sponsoring four Open House meetings where the public can view the Draft FY 13-16 STIP, view maps of projects in the local area, discuss projects with GDOT staff, and formally offer comments. The meetings are open to the public and all constituents are encouraged and welcome to attend.

Public Encouraged to Attend Local Meetings
GEGERGIA DOT SEEKS PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT ON ITS FEDERALLY-FUNDED PROJECTS
CARTERSVILLE, Ga.The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is about to present the Draft FY 2013 - 2016 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) in Northwest Georgia for public review and comment.
The STIP is a four-year program that specifies federally funded transportation projects for non-urban communities in rural Georgia for fiscal years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. These projects include, but are not limited to, new construction, improvements, and maintenance for interstates and state routes, and bridges. Additional projects include bicycle and pedestrian projects, transportation enhancement projects and public transit projects.
The Georgia DOT District Six Office in Cartersville will sponsor two Open House meetings where the public can view the Draft FY 13-16 STIP in Northwest Georgia, view maps of projects in the local area, discuss project with GDOT staff, and formally offer comments. The meetings are open to the public and all constituents are encouraged and welcome to attend.
Meetings in Northwest Georgia will be held:
Tuesday, October 23, 2012, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the GDOT District 6 Conference Room, located at 500 Joe Frank Harris Parkway in Cartersville
Thursday, November 1, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, located at 200 Northside Drive in the city of Carrollton
The general public is invited to view projects planned for Bartow, Carroll, Chattooga, Dade, Fannin, Gilmer, Gordon, Haralson, Murray, Pickens, Polk, and Walker counties. Projects for Catoosa, Cherokee, Floyd, Paulding and Whitfield counties in this region that are part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (areas with more than 50,000 in population) will be available for public comment in a separate meeting, at a later date.

The Draft FY 13-16 STIP will also be available on the internet at www.georgiastip.com. The Department looks forward to working with the public during the development of the Draft FY 13-16 STIP.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is committed to providing a safe, seamless and sustainable transportation system that supports Georgia's economy and is sensitive to both its citizens and its environment. Georgia is among the fastest growing states in the nation yet lags near the bottom in per capita spending on transportation. Additional transportation revenues are imperative to grow and sustain Georgia's economic vitality and quality of life through the 21st Century.

Projects include highway, bridge, public transit, bike, pedestrian, railroad, and other improvements. Projects listed in the STIP are identified through GDOTs ongoing planning processes in keeping with the Governors strategic Goals for Georgia to provide a "lean and responsive" state government that allows communities, individuals, and businesses to prosper.
