This project addresses those needs by providing training and technology transfer based on recent research efforts at various institutions to improve regional coordination and transit services. The Regional Coordination Workshop served as the venue to deliver the workshops in themed learning tracks. High priority workshop topics include: partnership development, marketing techniques, public involvement, and information technology applications. The Regional Coordination Workshop was held on July 23 and 24, 2008 at the Omni Austin Hotel at Southpark in Austin, Texas and attended by 172 participants from a variety of agencies and organizations involved in regional human service transit coordination. Regional Coordination Workshop materials and presentations can be found on the Regional Service Planning website (www.regionalserviceplanning.org).

Book excerpt: Texas growing population and expanding urban areas, as well as new legislation at the federal and state levels, are presenting new challenges and new opportunities for public transit services in the state. Many travel distances for commutes, medical care, education and social services, and other purposes are extending beyond traditional transit service areas. New transit funding programs require coordination among transit, human service, and workforce interests. This project, involving researchers from four Texas universities developed recommendations, methodologies, and guidelines for regional transit coordination in Texas. The research focused on three topics: transit coordination guidelines; analysis of Medical Transportation Program (MTP) service data; and analysis of travel demand along intercity corridors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report aims to evaluate and recommend possible strategies in which to promote improved mobility policies that will reduce interregional congestion. The transportation infrastructure between Austin and San Antonio, the anchor cities of the Central Texas corridor is becoming overburdened by the lack of mobility options that compete with private vehicle use. Much of the corridor is predicted to have major increases in congestion, which will potentially worsen the quality of life in both regions. . Given the critical economic role for regional transportation and its quality of life effects, there are a variety of solutions that can improve corridor transportation performance; especially in terms of providing improved mobility options. The causes of current interregional congestion levels are the severe lack of investment outside of roadway expansions and bypasses. This research gauges the institutional authority and resources related to managing the Austin –San Antonio corridor. Other regional examples of investment and management to improve transportation performance and choices in heavy-use corridors will be analyzed to identify opportunities and solutions for improved bi-regional coordination for the Central Texas corridor. In a fast-growing region like Central Texas, transportation is a crucial concern as it shapes urbanization, economic development and quality of life for a burgeoning population. This work emphasizes how new forms transportation planning to improve mobility options can significantly influence the Central Texas corridor’s ability to provide improved transportation performance for this rapidly growing region
