A 60-day public comment period begins today for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Coordination Document, which helps guide how the agency gathers feedback and engages stakeholders.

“Public participation is essential to meeting our responsibility to serve,” WisDOT Secretary-designee Craig Thompson. “I invite everyone to not only review this document, but to also get involved in the planning that shapes Wisconsin communities and determines our transportation infrastructure.”

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) cooperates and consults continuously with affected and interested parties in all areas of Wisconsin. This document outlines the processes by which WisDOT will coordinate with various parties during the development of required planning products and other select programs. It also highlights some of WisDOT’s successful practices and reviews the steps in the local cooperation and consultation processes for select planning and programing efforts.
