  • Tailor messages to audiences (eg. kids, languages)
  • Utilize blogs and local writers
  • Prioritize historically underserved communities and vulnerable users
  • Make it clear how feedback will be used

  • Ensure action, not just talk!

Why Pop-Ups?

16

  • Expand the scope of engagement to be more inclusive
  • Reach people not likely to attend public meeting/complete online form
  • Held at pre-existing events to take advantage of large groups of people who may not

be aware of Vision Zero

  • Could include events at high-traffic locations (eg. Metro stations) as a secondary alternative
  • Allow for substantial conversation to define the topic and ask for thoughtful

feedback

  • Follow a simple format:
  • Vision Zero overview board
  • “To me, transportation safety means…” activity
  • Hand-out cards to provide info and lead participants to the website
