East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWG) has always had a strong commitment to public involvement in its regional decision-making processes. EWG’s Board of Directors make transportation-related decisions affecting everything from the vitality of the St. Louis region’s economy to the daily lives of the region’s citizens. 
EWG’s work impacts the region’s environment and neighborhoods. Public guidance and advice are a vital consideration in how EWG allocates millions of dollars to transportation and other projects in the St. Louis region.
Public Involvement Plan
The expectations and procedures for public involvement in the St. Louis region’s transportation planning and other process are outlined in EWG’s Public Involvement Plan. The Public Involvement Plan, which was most recently updated in 2019, specifies EWG’s public involvement goals, objectives, and strategies and provides information on the agency’s approach to community engagement in the development of plans and programs. In addition, East-West Gateway has a Public Involvement Advisory Committee.
