a) SRA Staff b) FDOT District Staff c) Indian River Staff The Steering Committee is expected to have up to 5-6 members and hold progress and product review meetings every two to three months throughout the TDP update. These will incorporate the interactive component of the Public Involvement Plan as well as the TDLCB. CUTR will be responsible for preparing the agenda and materials for each meeting, with electronic versions sent to Indian River staff. Task 2: Public Involvement Program To establish an overall TDP Public Involvement Plan (PIP) that ensures compliance with local, state and federal policies. It is expected that this PIP will mirror the one used in the 2019 TDP Update. Additionally, the PIP will seek to receive valuable public input to develop mobility options tailored for a full array of markets throughout the Indian River County service area. Based on the approved MPO Public Involvement and Participation Plan, CUTR will draft and, following FDOT's approval, finalize a written Public Involvement Plan designed to involve transit riders, the general public and transit stakeholders in the TDP update. A special effort will be made to seek out and include minorities, low income, elderly and disabled populations. In addition, public meetings, workshops, and hearings will be provided at convenient times and locations in accessible venues. The public involvement activities comprise multiple outreach activities to target specific user groups of the transit system, including community organizations with interests in public transportation, input from the general public, and existing users of the Indian River services. Task 2A— Establishment of Community Connections and Listening Sessions CUTR, in collaboration with Indian River staff, will organize and maintain a master list of community organizations with interests in public transportation including government, business (chambers of commerce), social service agencies, charitable agencies, tourism, public and private education. When possible, CUTR will communicate with these community connections to inform and promote project phases and formal outreach activities. Task 2B — Survey of General Public via Paper & Website CUTR will develop a survey instrument for the general public designed to probe attitudes towards transit, perceptions of transportation in Indian River County and the existing system, needed service enhancements, and factors that encourage or discourage transit use. Questions from the 2019 TDP Online Survey will be included. CUTR will enable distribution of the general public survey via social media platforms which will target respondents based on geographic location to ensure only Indian River County residents are surveyed. Additionally, the public survey will be linked to multiple other social media and web platforms of the County, www.cutr.usf.edu 33
