Public Input Round 1: Prioritizing Goals

What we heard from you on goals

Goals and metrics

We are using metrics to measure the impacts of potential projects, policies, and programs.

A good set of metrics leads to the following list of results:

Addressing Community Needs

Setting goals helps us define metrics that we can use to measure how well projects meet the needs of the community.

Equitable Outcomes

When goals and metrics accurately portray the needs of the community, they will help us select and prioritize projects that will do the most good in the places with the most need.

Collaborative & Transparent Relationships

Metrics that help select and prioritize projects build trust when they can be easily explained to the public and other partners [local and regional governments, non-profits, etc.] through the framework of community consensus around goals.

Accountable Process & Implementation

These metrics can also be used for monitoring progress, not just making initial decisions. By using metrics to set priorities, we are able to track the success of projects and ensure that future project proposals align with the needs of the community.

The ARCS goals are designed to help project partners decide which projects to build. For example, a street construction project can meet more than one goal and benefit the community in many ways.
