25 measures, such as the level of roadway congestion, average travel time, and transit ridership, will be used to evaluate and compare the various Alternatives. It should be noted that it is very unlikely that one of the Alternatives in its entirety would be advanced as the Preferred Option. These Alternatives have been designed to emphasize a particular mode in meeting the future travel demands so that the public and technical staff can understand how the designated mode meets travel demand. In fact, it is unlikely that the Alternatives using the Highway Intensive and Transit Intensive networks are financially feasible. How can Citizens Participate? There are many opportunities for citizens to review and comment on the Alternatives and Preferred Option at a series of public workshops and public hearings that will take place from August through December 2012. The complete public involvement calendar for the Alternatives is displayed in the table on the next page. The DCHC MPO Web site will continue to post a detailed list of these public involvement opportunities in the Alternatives Analysis section of the Website—www.dchcmpo.org.
