LARGE CITY TECHNICAL EXCHANGE AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - INTER-JURISDICTIONAL COORDINATION FOR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT, INTERAGENCY FIBER OPTIC SHARING, PLANNING FOR PEDESTRIANS IN LARGE URBAN CENTERS
Over 25 million people live in American cities. The transportation systems of large American cities face enormous challenges ranging from limited financial and technical resources to high levels of congestion, aging infrastructure and highly institutional structures and capabilities. But in spite of the many challenges and constraints faced by transportation professionals operating in large cities, examples of innovation seem to be commonplace. The Large City Technical Exchange and Assistance Program facilitates the exchange of information and expertise among city transportation professionals. This report includes the results of case studies on three topics that the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) members identified as of critical interest. The topics are inter-jurisdictional coordination in traffic management; interagency sharing of fiber optic networks; and facilitating high volume pedestrian activity.
