The following table describes common attributes of transportation impacts for each track, at each POP Level.

This allows the user to refine decisions about the most appropriate POP Level for a transportation impact. For example, a District Project Manager answered the construction questions to the best of her knowledge for an upcoming road widening project, and landed on a POP Score of 2.5. The score automatically rounded up to a POP Level 3 but after reading the typical project description, the project manager feels like her project is less complicated and this description does not exactly fit. Because her POP Score fell almost half-way between a 2 and 3, she reads the POP Level 2 description and discovers that this more accurately describes her project and proceeds with a Level 2 recommendation.

REMINDER: NEPA has specific requirements regarding public involvement. Please refer to the NEPA section, page 11 of the ITD Guide to Public Involvement to determine if there are specific tools required for your project.

For users that would prefer a POP Level specific public involvement guide, complete with definitions of tools and techniques, the POP Level Reference Guides was developed. This guide pulls the relevant information from the ITD Guide to Public Involvement and collects it in customized guides for each POP Level.
