ANALYSIS OF A STATEWIDE INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

The University Transportation Study Consortium recommends that the Mississippi Legislature create an umbrella, multimodal transportation agency for the coordination of transportation within the state. At present Mississippi's transportation system has no formalized, intermodal coordination for planning and no common reporting or focal point. Each mode operates autonomously, and balanced planning among the modes does not exist.
