HARDWIRING COORDINATION AMONG LAND-USE AND TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES

This is a discription of how coordination was 'hardwired' among the various land-use and transportation planning agencies in San Diego, and what it has accomplished. It is noted that lack of coordination in the planning of land use and transportation sytems in urban and suburban areas across the country often causes severe traffic congestion problems. Interorganizational coordination can be helped by 'hardwiring' communications among the various agencies. Techniques that help include cross membership of policy boards, the creation of interorganizational management groups, the negotiating of memoranda of understanding, the sharing of technical staffs, the creation of project-oriented task forces, and the contracting out of services to sister organizations.
