Section 4: Keep going

Evaluating project outcomes

Gathering and organizing information

It’s important to have a plan for gathering information (for example, data about paratransit ridership, success stories, or key informant interviews) in an organized way.

• Who is going to lead the evaluation process?
• How will you store and maintain the outcome information?
• Will you use an online tool like Google Docs or Dropbox to share files or is one person going to store the materials on their computer and share out via email or hard copies?

Plan ahead

Spending some time at the beginning thinking about what needs to be done before, during, and after the project can help you stay on track.

• What kind of information already exists?
• What tools will you need to develop to collect new information?
• When is this information available to be collected?
