Abstract:This report summarizes a national scenario planning peer exchange jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The exchange was held as part of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Summer Meeting in Irvine, California, on July 8-10, 2012. FHWA and FTA worked closely with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO), and the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) to plan the peer exchange. Participants in the event shared examples of scenario planning processes across the United States as well as best practices, challenges, and success factors. Twenty-seven peers and 53 participants attended the event, including representatives from Federal agencies, State departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, councils of government, transit agencies, and private sector organizations. All peers provided a range of backgrounds and perspectives on scenario planning. Appendix A provides the peer exchange agenda. Appendix B lists the exchange attendees and their respective agencies. Appendix C provides speaker contact information. Presentations from the peer exchange, including video recordings, are available on TRB’s website. 1 In convening scenario planning practitioners and other interested stakeholders from around the country, the peer exchange provided a unique opportunity to discuss the state-of-the-practice of scenario planning across the nation. Furthermore, the event allowed peers to showcase their innovative work through presentations, a tools showcase, and an awards ceremony honoring the winners and honorable mention recipients of the 2012 Transportation Planning Excellence Awards (TPEA). The tools showcase, staffed by participants and presenters of the exchange, provided opportunities for additional discussions and tutorials of scenario planning tools used by agency representatives attending the event. TPEA, a biennial awards program jointly sponsored by FHWA and FTA, recognizes outstanding transportation planning practices occurring across the country. Appendix D provides the list of TPEA winners and honorable mentions.
