Abstract:Counties and municipalities throughout the United States host numerous national and regional planned special events including parades, festivals, and demonstrations, as well as many local events such as block parties and neighborhood festivals. Special Events is also the term given to unplanned, unwanted situations such as weather-related and other types of emergencies. Whether planned or unplanned, local jurisdictions need to be ready to mobilize and respond by collaborating and planning together. Attention is always focused on how the transportation system is performing as a jurisdiction hosts a fair, golf tournament, national political convention or other major event. The case studies report is designed to help the reader learn from others across the country. Useful strategies include cross boundary leadership needed to direct transportation, law enforcement, emergency management and agency professionals who might be unfamiliar with these ideas or have a difficult time working together. This report is designed to help you and those on your staff who may be involved in planning, managing or operating a planned or unplanned event. The case study format offers an in-depth perspective of the different types of strategies currently used for particular special events across the U.S. Each example explores the challenges posed by the event, agencies involved, pre-event planning, day-of-event operations and management, the effect on neighborhoods and the relationship to other transportation needs.
