Public involvement is an interactive process that allows stakeholders to offer important input on solutions that address the community’s concerns.
The Community Advisory Group – or CAG – is a group of volunteer stakeholders that represents the community and functions as a liaison between IDOT and the public. The CAG shares issues and concerns and identifies and evaluates potential alternatives and solutions.
