On October 31, 2005, the Multimodal Tradeoffs Workshop was held in Kansas City, Missouri, and was attended by Federal, state department of transportation (DOT), transit agency, and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) representatives. The goal of the peer exchange was to identify how various agencies address the challenges of managing investment tradeoffs among multimodal systems to achieve policy objectives and balance the needs of a diverse customer base. Peer exchanges offer a unique opportunity to not only engage in discussion and share experiences and lessons learned but also identify potential solutions and prioritize areas for additional advancement through research, technical assistance, and other activities. This report serves to document and further distribute the insights raised during the meeting with the larger transportation community. The remainder of this section contains background information on multimodal tradeoffs processes taken from an overview memorandum distributed to participants prior to the peer exchange. Section 2.0 contains a synopsis of the multimodal tradeoff questions participants completed before the meeting (full responses are located in Appendix B). Section 3.0 summarizes the case studies presented at the meeting, additional insights, research needs, and existing resources.
