Evolving Role of Statewide Transportation Planning in an Era of Regional Funding and Governance: A Peer Exchange. Transportation Research Circular E-C125

摘要

TRBs Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning Committee (ADA10) has sponsored a peer exchange for the past several years as part of the committees summer meetings. These annual peer exchanges are funded with the support of FHWA. The purpose of the peer exchanges is to bring together practitioners of statewide planning to discuss issues confronting the field in an informal setting over a period of a day and half. Peer exchange topics are discussed and determined by the committee during the TRB Annual Meeting in January, and an organizing committee is formed. The 2006 summer peer exchange addressed the topic of the evolving role of statewide transportation planning in an era of regional funding and governance. Potential participants were identified by the organizing committee in the spring of 2006. Survey questions were sent out to participants before the exchange. This allowed the participants to become familiar with the topics for discussion at the exchange and make the best use of available time. In addition to the survey, the following three states were sent more detailed questions to provide formal presentations at the meeting: California, Texas, and Washington.
