PUBLIC OUTREACH

An important part of the Transit Development Plan process is getting input from the public to ensure that the project team understands the needs of current transit riders and future riders. Due to the current COVID-19 climate, KCAG has worked with the public outreach consultant to develop a robust engagement plan that includes opportunities to virtually engage stakeholders and the county as a whole.

Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholders throughout this project are identified as interested individuals, representatives of community groups, or individuals who are able to provide input and review study products. Throughout this project, we will hold several stakeholder meetings at different stages of the project (either virtually or in person, as conditions allow).

Transit development plan Stakeholder advisory committee (TDPSAC):

​The project team will meet with and present to this standing committee to get input from the members and update them regularly throughout the planning process. The TDPSAC members include individuals from the following organizations:
  • Kings County Behavioral Health
  • Valley LEAP
  • Caltrans
  • Kings County Area Public Transit Agency (KCAPTA) for Kings Area Rural Transit (KART)
  • Corcoran Area Transit (CAT)
  • The City of Avenal
  • The City of Corcoran
  • The City of Lemoore
  • The County of Kings
On June 5, 2020, KCAG and the project team held the first Stakeholder Advisory Committee meeting. Below you can view the meeting overview, questions and answers from the meeting, and discussion notes.

Rider surveys

When conditions allow (lifting of shelter-in-place), we will survey passengers on buses. Surveyor workers will ride the buses and pass out and collect surveys. This will probably happen in the fall.
