Public Involvement

Communication with Stakeholders

In an effort to support the development of long- and short-range plans and programs, such as the Wasatch Choice 2050 (WC2050) Vision, Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), as well as participate in regionally significant transportation-related projects and studies, the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) strategically communicates with relevant stakeholders. This communication takes place across a wide variety of platforms and includes management of the following.

  • The WC2050 Consortium, in an effort to promote the Vision and ultimately improve the quality of life for residents along the Wasatch Front.
  • In-person and on-line events and tools, such as open houses, webinars, interactive maps, and visualization tools, in an effort to proactively plan for the future of our region.
  • Content for the website and all social media platforms, including FacebookTwitter, and YouTube, in an effort to continue to build relationships with cities, counties, transportation partners, community-based organizations, and the private sector.
  • E-mail newsletters, including distribution lists, and online surveys, in an effort to proactively notify stakeholders and interested parties of visions, plans, and programs, as well as upcoming events.
