VTA will develop a Construction Education and Outreach Plan that includes best practices from BART Phase I that will establish:

• Stakeholder priorities during initial engagement through construction;

• Construction contract requirements to minimize disruption to businesses, residents, and commuters;

• Continued investment in the Community Working Groups;

• Multilingual and multichannel communication strategies to engage early and often, continuous feedback loop;

• On-site Community Outreach Liaisons for each construction area to partner with city and other project points of contact.
