Associate Director Sarah McCullough will present ten key practices for successful engagement with historically underserved communities. These practices were identified through a study of four successful community engagement processes in California centered on transportation.

The Study

Each process involved robust planning with the community, which resulted in outcomes that better met community needs. If you're a  professional or researcher who wants to learn more about the essential role of community expertise in planning and growing communities, you'll learn useful new information to help guide your thinking.
