A Cook + Schmid Case Study
The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) hired vendor Cook + Schmid to facilitate community relations for the construction of its Mission Valley Trolley East Extension. The challenge involved managing public interactions during a complex infrastructure project that included building a new trolley stop at SDSU and required periodic closures of the I-8 freeway.
Cook + Schmid implemented a multifaceted community relations plan that reached residents, businesses, and others. Their efforts included distributing flyers and doorhangers to advise the public of construction activities. As a result of this outreach by Cook + Schmid, the project received significant media coverage, generating over 20 million impressions from weekly traffic reports on local broadcast news, easing public interactions for the project's successful completion.
