Step 1: Determine the scale of the issue

The scale of the problem you have identified can help you determine which groups or individuals need to be involved. If it is a relatively simple problem (e.g., a missing stop sign), then you may be able to resolve the issue by alerting your department of transportation (DOT), engineering department, or other local agency. Larger issues that require more complicated and/or expensive solutions may require more community and political support.
