Applications of Regional Operations Collaboration and Coordination Planning for Transportation Operations

Applications 
  of Regional Operations Collaboration and Coordination Planning for Transportation 
  Operations Several regions around the country are already practicing elements of framework for collaboration and coordination described in this document. These regions continue to realize improvements in various aspects of their transportation system due to the long-term strategic and collaborative efforts made by various agencies in the region. The following case studies demonstrate how these regions have applied the framework. Many of the case studies detail Metropolitan Model Deployment Initiatives related to ITS. These initiatives were the first steps toward planning for operations, and as regions have recognized the benefits from doing so, they have continued to expand their collaborative interagency, interjurisdictional efforts.

Each case study includes a summary of the application and a breakdown of how the effort follows some or all of the action steps in the framework discussed in the primer. While several of the studies do not follow each element of the framework directly, they still serve to give a concrete picture of what it means to plan regionally for operations.

The following case studies are presented:
