• Abstract:
  This report is a record of the formation, major activities and accomplishments of the Transportation Library Connectivity ; pooled fund study, TPF-5(105), from its approval by FHWA in 2005 through its fifth and final annual meeting in September ; 2010. ; Some 50 state departments of transportation, 600 transit agencies and nearly 400 metropolitan planning organizations ; generate a staggering amount of valuable information, yet the transportation sector lacks a systematic approach to ; effectively manage this information. This challenge has been well-documented in reports such as the Federal Highway ; Administration’s Value of Information and Information Services; the National Cooperative Highway Research Program’s ; Scoping Study for a National Strategic Plan for Transportation Information Management; and the Transportation Research ; Board’s Special Report 284, Transportation Knowledge Networks: A Management Strategy for the 21st Century. ; The Transportation Library Connectivity pooled fund study was formed against the backdrop of these challenges and ; developments. By working together more closely and more formally as transportation agency libraries, members improved ; services to their customers and also enhanced their readiness to embrace the planned policy changes recommended by TRB ; SR 284 for inclusion in the next surface transportation funding act. During its five years, study membership grew from 11 ; members in nine states to 25 members in 22 states. A new pooled fund study, to be led by Missouri DOT, is being formed to ; build upon the achievements of this study.
