Virtual Forum

Public agencies and some private companies are frequently faced with the need or requirement to consult consumers or stakeholders regarding initiatives under consideration. Typically, this type of public involvement is handled through meetings that tend to attract unrepresentative subsets of the public. To correct for this limitation, PTV NuStats has developed a survey-based approach to soliciting public input through Web-based capture. Our approach, Virtual Forum, can be designed as multi-stage when public input is required to narrow down and prioritize action options.
