Abstract:One of the most consistent topics of discussion about the Northeast Corridor (hereafter
“NEC” or “the Corridor”), particularly the central portion between Boston and Washington,
D.C., is the viability and efficiency of its transportation system. There is good reason for this.
Maintaining and enhancing effective and efficient mobility are critical factors for the Corridor if
it is to maintain and increase its status as a leading space in the United States for economic,
educational, and cultural activity, and innovation as well as livability.
In this context, the need to improve and expand the planning and policy-making capacity
for the NEC’s transportation infrastructure frequently receives mention. However, from a
governance perspective, no single entity is responsible for its infrastructure. The public sector
agencies that have formal authority for the major modes of transportation within it are many and
have different powers and spatial scales.
