5 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> Public Engagement Plan SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN <br /> During Phase 2, the project team will present how Phase 1 feedback was used to develop strategies <br /> and inform potential route and service changes. The project team will also get feedback on the draft <br /> SRTP, including specific routes and service level changes, phasing of projects, and network impacts. <br /> Messaging will include how the SRTPs support the Transit Plan goals and objectives. <br /> COLLABORATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES <br /> Public Participation Partners (P3) will be the lead consultant for the community engagement activities <br /> associated with the Orange County Short Range Transit Plans. P3 will work closely with <br /> Nelson\Nygaard, the prime consultant for the overall study, to ensure engagement efforts are closely <br /> coordinated with technical activities. <br /> Within this structure, Nelson\Nygaard will primarily be responsible for setting the overall goals and <br /> desired outcomes from each of the individual engagement phases as well as preparing technical <br /> content. P3 will be responsible for designing and planning engagement activities, arranging <br /> meetings and logistics support (identifying venues, printing materials, setting up and taking down <br /> events) and staffing and facilitation of individual events. At least one staff member from P3 will be <br /> present per individual event, as dictated by the public engagement budget. P3 will schedule and <br /> arrange the details for each event and be responsible for bringing all materials. <br /> Orange County will help to facilitate contact with local partners and stakeholders to request their <br /> help in sharing information about the project. Orange County will also support by staffing events <br /> throughout the engagement process. One Orange County representative will be expected to staff <br /> each of the individual events. <br /> An Orange County SRTP Core Technical Team (CTT) will be developed to help guide the project. The <br /> CTT will meet monthly to provide input on the strategy and materials for each public engagement <br /> phase.
