PR-11: Educational Outreach

Goal

Increase public, agency and stakeholder awareness of roadway sustainability activities.

Requirements

Incorporate a comprehensive public educational outreach program into the operational phase of the roadway facility project.

1. Install and maintain a permanent project-oriented signage program along the roadway right-of-way. During construction registered projects may use temporary signs to display factual information about the Greenroads™ certification level being pursued, as noted in the Greenroads trademark policy (available on the website).
2. Install and maintain at least one offroad, permanent point-of-interest kiosk that displays the Greenroads certification level pursued, project information, and the certification level actually achieved.
3. Provide a publicly available and maintained informational project website with capacity for submitting feedback and comments.
4. Develop an agency and/or stakeholder guide, specification, or policy that incorporates or otherwise clearly references and reflects the ideals and intents of Greenroads.
5. Institute an internal agency continuing professional education and training program related to Greenroads.
6. Perform at least two presentations about the project for primary and secondary schools.
7. Perform one professional technical presentation.
8. Document the project experience using Greenroads (i.e. conduct a detailed case study for the roadway project).

The following correspond to the numbered sequence in the preceding section.

1. Provide photos of temporary and permanent signs installed in the right-of-way.
2. Provide a text or printed copy of the information offered at the kiosk (i.e. brochure or static installation) AND a photo of the kiosk structure and location as installed.
3. Provide the website address. (Note: hyperlinks must be live.)
4. Provide a copy of the agency guide, manual or specification.
5. Provide a copy of the learning objectives and schedule for the training program.
