The RBA Group has conducted intensive and creative community outreach programs as a part of many projects to encourage community participation in the planning and decision-making process and to identify community concerns, including transportation, social, economic, cultural, environmental and other issues important to the public. Our planning and design staff has a history of working together to perform successful community outreach efforts that achieve positive results, particularly with bike/pedestrian projects. Public involvement techniques employed include charettes, focus groups, open houses, web sites, project newsletters, surveys, interviews and multi-media shows. Clients include counties, towns, villages through the northeast and mid-Atlantic region.
