Have you ever wanted to learn more about an issue before the CPUC, or perhaps advocate as a party to a proceeding? If so, the CPUC has created three new videos to help you get involved and make your voice heard in our proceedings. These videos provide the answers you need to participate in civic discourse and policymaking at the CPUC. 

An easy way to get started is to learn about the CPUC's Docket Card system, where you’ll find the latest decisions, motions, or comments affecting California essential services including energy, rail, telecommunications, transportation, and water. To learn How to Navigate the Docket Card System watch the video below.

One of the more effective ways to have your voice heard in CPUC policy and decision-making is to become a party to a proceeding. Anyone, whether an individual or an organization, can become a party to a CPUC proceeding. Click on the video below to see How to Make Your Voice Heard.

There may be times that parties to a proceeding want to communicate outside of a public hearing, workshop, or other public forum. To ensure you are compliant with the CPUC’s Rules of Practice & Procedure, you first need to understand the Rules of Ex Parte Communications. To learn the ins and outs of Ex Parte rules and how they apply to different types of CPUC proceedings, view the video below.
