Facing resistance from community leaders on a transportation plan can be challenging, but strategic communication and collaboration can pave the way.

When community leaders push back against your transportation plan, it's essential to address their concerns thoughtfully and collaboratively. Here's how to navigate this roadblock:

• Engage in active listening: Understand their concerns and show empathy by acknowledging their perspectives.

• Provide transparent data: Share clear, accessible information to back up your plan’s benefits and address potential misconceptions.

• Seek common ground: Identify shared goals and find compromises that align with community interests.
