Abstract:NYMTC’s Principals reached consensus on five Shared Goals to guide regional transportation investment decisionmaking. The Shared Goals reflect broad agreement on the need for regional approaches to complex issues facing the region. The Shared Goals are: • Build the case for obtaining resources to implement regional investments; • Enhance the regional environment; • Improve the regional economy; • Improve the regional quality of life; and • Provide convenient, flexible transportation access within the region. The agreement on the Shared Goals represented an important organizational achievement, but the Principals recognized that the goals required greater definition to provide an overall framework for NYMTC’s planning process. To this end, the NYU/Wagner Rudin Center Team was asked to conduct this study, the goals of which were (1) to help the Principal members of NYMTC characterize more clearly each of the five Shared Goals and the outcomes they are intended to generate; (2) to establish measures of success that could be tracked to ascertain how well the Shared Goals and related outcomes were being achieved; (3) to identify the key trends – political, demographic, so cio-economic, technological – that are likely to have an impact on the Shared Goals and outcomes, and the manner in which the goals and outcomes are therefore most likely to prove achievable; and (4) to develop recommendations for integrating the Shared Goals and outcomes into the formal regional transportation planning process. This study has comprised five tasks: (1) further definition of the Shared Goals and identification of related outcomes, (2) identification of related key trends, (3) identification of objectives re lated to the Shared Goals and outcomes, (4) integration of the Shared Goals with the planning process, and (5) documentation of the process and results. This technical memorandum is the final deliverable of this project – the documentation of the process and results. Part One of this memo describes the process that was used to achieve the goals of the project. Part Two provides the substantive outputs from the various project tasks.
