From concept through completion, public engagement is critically important to the VDOT Office of Public-Private Partnerships. Clear communication and continual outreach to involve people is part of our standard operating process. It matters to us that Virginians and other stakeholders know what a project is about, what it costs, how the environment is affected, and how the project will affect their day-to-day lives. Most importantly, public engagement helps us deliver a project that is beneficial to people.
