62 Project De v III IIN rn i t Scope of Work will be updated throughout the study process. In addition, visitors to the project website are able to add their contact information to the database. It is expected that the mailing list will include elected officials; transportation, environmental, civic, and business organizations; county, city, state, regional, and federal agencies; residents and property owners; transportation providers; the media; and other interested groups and individuals. To provide additional information dissemination, newsletters and fact sheets will be available at meetings and information repositories and could be distributed as seat drops and at stations. URS will work with Triangle Transit to develop and maintain a comprehensive database mailing list. URS will sort the master database for targeted mailings to a variety of groups including the corridor committees, elected and appointed federal, state, county, and local officials and the general public. Deliverable: Project database and mailing list input .6 Pulkihc lirivollvernent Meetings and Minutes A series of formal public meetings and hearing(s) will be conducted during the course of preliminary engineering phase and the DEIS and FEIS phases to offer opportunities to present project findings, discuss all alternatives considered during the process, and receive further public comment. The NEPA process sets forth clear requirements for public hearings, notice, and review/comment periods consistent with federal, state, and local requirements. Alternate public meeting formats, such as an open house format, will provide structured opportunities for informal interaction between the public and the project team at key points in project development. Public meetings can also leverage innovative and interactive technologies such as Twitter and Esri online to engage the public and aid in better understanding of the project. Such technologies will also allow for "24/7 public involvement" meaning that project understanding and comment can occur online outside of physical meetings. Three DEIS public workshops and two DEIS public hearings (one in Chapel Hill and one in Durham) as well as four station development workshops will be held in accordance with the project schedule publicized in the project scoping information booklet(May 2012). The URS team will prepare minutes for public, station workshop, and community outreach meetings, summarize all public comment, and have a court reporter to record and transcribe Public Hearings, including public input and response, for approval and distribution by Triangle Transit, attendance and preparation of meeting materials for the public hearings. Deliverable: M Agendas, meeting minutes of public meetings, hearings, open houses, and station workshops .7 Conduct IlR bUc Heaurliing(s) and Responses to Crou°nnrrients The URS team will assist Triangle Transit in preparing for the public hearing(s)for the DEIS.
