Seattle Transportation Plan | Highlights from Community-Based Organization Partners

SDOT is partnering with community-based organizations (CBOs) to develop the Seattle Transportation Plan. We have been honored to hear from two CBOs thus far with stories about the way that they are engaging the communities they serve in developing the STP. Read more below!

We recently attended an event led by the Khmer Community of Seattle King CountyNoio Pathways/ KIMYUNITY. This group has partnered with us to reach Seattle’s Khmer/Cambodian community in a respectful, sensitive, meaningful way, to ensure people in this community see their perspectives represented in the Seattle Transportation Plan and One Seattle Plan. 

As part of this, they are piloting an innovative civic education curriculum and community engagement approaches that center Khmer culture, prioritize relationship and skill-building, and invest in the well-being of Khmer elders and youth. Through their lived experiences as members of and organizers in BIPOC communities and their experience navigating systems of growth, they are bridging community and institutions to help shape the Seattle Transportation Plan and One Seattle Plan.  

This engagement event was designed as an exploratory field trip for a group of Khmer elders, and was facilitated through the translation services of several KCSKC interpreters and staff, and supported by youth employees of KCSKC.

This reflection was written by Judy Khun, one of the KCSKC youth employees providing documentation and technical support for the day’s events:
