Getting Started

Stakeholders
Next, we determined the stakeholders:

bullet

New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), who is the client;

bullet

users of the facilities who will benefit from the improvements;

bullet

people who live next to the freeway or have adjacent businesses;

bullet

Albany County; and

bullet

Department of Environmental Conservation.

Over the course of the project, we will need to consider the benefits and costs that accrue to each of these groups in every aspect of the case study.

Related to the stakeholders is the choice of audience. In this case, it is NYSDOT, who will share your results with the county, the town, and other interested parties. Your audience could also be the system users or the adjacent landowners, if they request a presentation about your findings.

Discussion:
Take a few minutes to consider the stakeholder groups and what impacts they may experience as a result of this project. How might a change in the designated primary audience affect the manner in which the work is performed and presented? When you are ready, click continue below to proceed.
