County of Fairfax, Virginia Summary The Countywide Dialogue on Transportation has been an effective public outreach strategy. While there is general support for addressing the problem, responses to the survey indicate a fair amount of confusion and misunderstanding regarding: –How much transportation improvements cost –Process for getting state and federal funding, where the funding comes from, and why it is drying up –Which projects cannot be completed without additional funding, or how new funding would be spent Outreach to date has been very helpful, but more needs to be done Department of Transportation 13

County of Fairfax, Virginia Where do we go from here? Public meetings and small group presentations have been effective in raising awareness of transportation funding issues among those who attended. However, the information did not reach a significant portion of the countys population. Transportation funding is a complicated issue that will remain a top concern among all those who live, work, travel or do business in Fairfax County for a long time to come. Helping county residents understand the federal, state and local funding issues is critical if we are to have an informed and engaged electorate. Continued public outreach can help educate county residents, so that they may make informed choices about their transportation future. Department of Transportation 14

County of Fairfax, Virginia Proposed Next Steps Develop a multi-layered public education campaign Since there is so much information to absorb, a layered approach is suggested, where one layer of information would be rolled out and discussed with the community before the next layer of information would begin. To compete for the attention of busy County residents, staff suggests reaching out to residents on multiple levels, many times, over an extended period of time. Many types of media will be used to convey our messages in many ways. Campaign would not commence before the General Assembly concludes. Department of Transportation 15

County of Fairfax, Virginia Proposed Next Steps A multi-layered public education campaign Message #1 (the first layer) –Identifying the costs of transportation (sidewalks, a mile of highway, turn lanes, a transit bus, etc.) Message #2 (the second layer) –Where funding comes from; breakdown of County, State, Federal dollars Message #3 (the third layer) –Potential sources for additional transportation funding (gas tax, tolls, bigger fines for traffic offenses, real estate tax, etc.) Message #4 (the fourth layer) –What additional funding will buy; a list of projects and cost per resident; project schedules Department of Transportation 16

County of Fairfax, Virginia Proposed Next Steps A multi-layered public education campaign Use many types of media to convey messages in many ways: –Develop a speakers bureau and make presentations to Chambers of Commerce and other groups, do media interviews (WTOP Ask the Transportation Professional) –Informational videos on Countys YouTube page, promoted through social media (Facebook, Twitter) –Articles for publication and electronic dissemination (via internet) Department of Transportation 17

County of Fairfax, Virginia Proposed Next Steps A multi-layered public education campaign Use many types of media to convey messages in many ways (continued from previous slide) : –Series of ads, for example, in malls, on buses and bus shelters with QR codes for more information –Electronic and print informational advertising (Google ads, local news media) –Outreach tailored for non- traditional or disadvantaged audiences –Staff is looking at options and costs for implementing a more thorough, statistically valid countywide survey Department of Transportation 18
