Stakeholder Participation Panel (SPP)
A core group of stakeholders with a strong interest in the study and its recommendations will serve in an advisory role and be actively involved in all phases of the study. The SPP will work closely with the PCC and Consultant Team in issues identification and the development and evaluation of transportation alternatives.

General Public
The general public and other groups who have an interest in the study will also be consulted as part of the study's public involvement process. This group will primarily be used to provide feedback on findings and recommendations emerging at key phases of the study, including evaluation measures, needs, deficiencies, and recommended alternatives.
Some of the stakeholders that are envisioned as members of this group include local businesses, especially those potentially affected by an increase in traffic, groups promoting tourism, and community residents.
