RTC is committed to prioritizing meaningful community engagement as a cornerstone for achieving better outcomes. We are designing a process to integrate your input into the decision-making process, ensuring that the study reflects the needs and values of people, communities, businesses and organizations across the Charleston Boulevard corridor. This includes:

• A “people-first” approach that ensures the engagement process respects and values the unique perspectives of residents, businesses, and stakeholders, particularly those from historically underserved groups.
• A variety of tools and activities—surveys, public meetings, focus groups, and pop-ups—are strategically chosen to meet people where they are and ensure broad participation.
• The team commits to showing how community input directly influences project decisions, fostering trust and confidence in the process.
• Metrics will be tracked to evaluate the effectiveness of engagement efforts, ensuring voices from all segments of the corridor are heard and considered.

We believe that community voices make projects stronger, and your input is essential to shaping a transit solution that works for everyone. Join us in this collaborative process – participate in upcoming events, share your thoughts through our survey, and help us create a safer, more connected Charleston Boulevard.
