Following the successful completion of the Common Ground Study, Congress directed the OPS to sponsor the development and implementation of a nonprofit organization to promote implementation of the damage prevention Best Practices. The Common Ground Alliance was created and charted with assistance and resources provided by the OPS and through the work of various stakeholder groups involved in the Common Ground Study.
The Common Ground Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to shared responsibility in damage prevention and promotion of the damage prevention Best Practices identified in the Common Ground Study Report. Building on the spirit of shared responsibility resulting from the Common Ground Study, the purpose of the CGA is to ensure public safety, environmental protection, and the integrity of services by promoting effective damage prevention practices.
The Common Ground Alliance is supported by its sponsors, member organizations, and individual members. CGA sponsorship and membership is open to all stakeholder organizations that want to demonstrate their support of the CGA.
