  1. I-95 Corridor Coalition Comments

  2. What we Heard, What we Missed Heard: • Collaborate or die. • Coalitions thrive when there is less pain in belonging than not belonging - they develop from need not direction. • Coalitions need a “PORPOSE”

  3. What we Heard, What we Missed Missed: • Insufficient time for cross-fertilization of what works, didn’t work, conflict resolution, consensus building, etc. (examples perhaps too diverse for that)

  4. Moving Forward • US DOT pursue a public-private partnership to collect the data required for planning, operations/management, assessment, and private sector businesses under any scenario in TEA 22. • Coalition should reach out more aggressively to MPO’s • Matt Coogan’s presentation solidified Coalition attendees’ views regarding the information system project.

  5. TRB Comments Sponsoring Committees: Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning Programming, Planning & Systems Evaluation

  6. What we Heard, What we Missed • Some states join to protect interests • Many MPOs are not now included • Financing is a significant factor • We learned “single-state planning” • Three keys to successful coalitions • CAO turnover is a challenge to continuity • How to involve non-transportation interests

  7. Moving Forward • How to “do” multi-state planning? • What kind of performance measures? • How to include MPOs in the process? • What are the issues beyond chasing funds? • Should reauthorization encourage coalitions through special funding categories?

  8. AASHTO Comments

  9. State DOT’s are deeply and actively involved in coalitions -- intermodal, multi-jurisdictional, inter-sectoral -- departments without walls. • AASHTO has a number of related initiatives underway. • Conference valuable for highlighting value of multi-jurisdictional coalitions and spotlighting best practices.

  10. Multi-jurisdictional coalitions clearly valuable for their creative, bridge-building and innovative initiatives. They should be encouraged and supported. Coalitions should be purpose-driven; no issue too small. • Overlapping issues/objectives discussed here: • Coalitions • Multi-jurisdictional planning & programs • Orphan projects • Freight movement

  11. Public understanding and support essential. • Reauthorization: • Do no harm (do not establish national coalition program with detailed requirements and mandates) • Hindering the Hindrances • New spending depends on new money -Pot - Pie - Table • Federalism is permanent

  12. FHWA Comments

  13. What we Heard, What we Missed Heard: • Good examples of processes that are working • Work beyond traditional boundaries • General desire for less formal constructs • General desire for flexibility • Overall need to involve the people (parties) affected • Better data needed • Some support for funding flexibility • One size does not fit all • No Federal mandate

  14. What we Heard, What we Missed Missed: • leadership • other solutions

  15. Moving Forward • work towards re-focusing priorities to reflect collaboration (and include ONE DOT concept) • re-authorization: float proposals for debate • need to develop best practices and data sharing efforts • continue efforts to bring people together • work to change mind sets about traditional boundaries, and • appreciate all of the parties who need to be at the table OVERALL: leadership is the challenge!
