-Summary:
This webinar features the outcomes of a scanning tour on Successful Intermodal Corridor Management Practices for Sustainable System Performance conducted as part of the U.S. Domestic Scan Program (NCHRP Project 20-68A, domesticscan.org).
Intermodal corridor management strives to match the right services to meet demand at the least social and economic cost while maximizing the return on previous and future investments in infrastructure and services. As a management concept, intermodal corridor management builds on the principles of multimodal corridor planning, integrated corridor management and active traffic management. It recognizes that multiple modes can satisfy a variety of travel demands within a corridor, and that most movement of people, goods, information and services in a corridor involves movement between modes.
During one week in October of 2015, the scan team conducted a “peer exchange” style scan with invitees from cities, state DOTs, and Metropolitan Planning Organizations providing presentations. The scan provided a format for scan members to learn firsthand from practitioners about successful strategies that have been used to implement corridor management beyond the concept of integrating technical operational capabilities to optimizing the potential contributions for a variety of modes within corridors.
The scan team developed recommendations within a framework of a number of key areas which include, corridor visioning, collaboration, leadership, systems approach, data, customer-focused performance measurement, outreach, funding, and sustainability. The focus of this first webinar will be on corridor visioning.
Webinar participants will have the opportunity to hear about what was learned during the scan from a number of presenters, all active participants on the scan. This included representatives from four different state DOTs and two MPOs.
