Many of the possibilities for safe, reliable, and secure transportation in the 21 st Century depend upon operators, planners, and others working together toward a collective vision for regional transportation. These possibilities are realized only when managers and officials of agencies and jurisdictions responsible for delivering transportation and public safety services in a region collaborate on what needs to happen to improve regional transportation system performance. With agreement on what is possible and what must happen to get there, these stakeholders can focus on improving regional transportation system performance for the future. Serving the public and improving performance at the region-wide level requires extraordinary collaboration between regional stakeholders led by a common operations vision. This is what a Regional Concept for Transportation Operations provides.
