This synthesis report will be of interest to local, regional, state, and federal officials, as well as to the consultants that work with them in building effective relationships among different levels of government. It documents various intergovernmental relationships and practices that have proven successful in furthering the capital, operations, and maintenance needs of urban transportation systems. It addresses questions about how various intergovernmental units work together to address the transportation needs of central cities, what types of relationships have proven successful in achieving this goal, and what practical steps local, regional, state, and federal officials can take to enhance and improve central city transportation systems. This report of the Transportation Research Board contains information from a literature review and a survey of transportation agencies with jurisdiction in the 12 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. A total of 84 projects, processes, or other experiences were submitted by transportation agencies to document successful collaborative outcomes; 9 of which provide case study results, emphasizing the importance of agencies focusing very clearly on problems, needs, and opportunities. |
