Abstract:Transportation infrastructure forms network s both within and between cities and regions and as such, is inherently a megaregion issue. Therefore, conceiving a framework for governing megaregion transportation planning in the United States, particularly across political boundaries, requires a thorough understanding of the background of current megaregion planning initiatives. At present, transportation planning is typically conducted by individual states regions, cities or towns or it may be undertaken by the Federal government where multiple states are involved. Megaregions: Literature Review of Organizational Structures and Finance of Multi-jurisdictional Initiatives and the Implications for Megaregion Transportation Planning in the U.S. was prepared for the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. The report provides theoretical concepts of governing structures, reviews case studies of innovative international and national approaches to analyze structures under which successful transportation projects were undertaken under non-traditional, inter-regional and trans-boundary geography and discusses opportunities and challenges in megaregion transportation planning.
