Case Study: Orange County, NY

Leveraging SMS Signage to Shape a Rural Community Plan

•  About Orange County Comprehensive Plan | Plan to help guide the future of planning, land use, and infrastructure in the rural New York county | Define the goals and strategies for how land might best be used, developed or preserved, and how financial, technical and infrastructure resources might be effectively provided

• Used SMS signage to reach rural community members and engage a more diverse user group

• Incorporated community feedback to address current and future transportation needs in the County

“Our previous plan did not provide a focus on Transportation. We're about to change that. Based on your comments and suggestions, the future of the Transportation network in the County is an important topic. We're working on an all new comprehensive Transportation section to address how we can adapt our current and future network to accommodate a changing County landscape and environment.”
