PILOT

Launching a Pilot

A pilot can (1) provide data that can be used to justify funding and support; (2) brings key stakeholders together to build and share knowledge in the pilot area; (3) helps the city determine the efficacy of interventions under certain conditions; and (4) allows for the refinement of interventions for city-wide implementation.

The city must take great care in selecting a pilot site that will lead to the desired goals and outcomes on plastic. Pilot sites can include parks, harbors, beachfronts, waterways, neighborhoods, etc. The City Government must come to a consensus on what exactly is being piloted (e.g., waste collection process, community engagement campaign, etc.), the purpose of the pilot site, the desired outcome, the time frame for the pilot process, and how the pilot aligns with other City initiatives and activities.
