Large City Technical Exchange and Assistance Program. Final Report
The Large City Technical Exchange and Assistance Program facilitates the exchange of information and expertise among central city transportation professionals. The program is funded in FY00 by the Federal Highway Administration through the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management (CTPM) at New York Universitys Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. The Rudin Center serves as staff to the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), an organization composed of senior central city transportation officials in the nations ten largest metropolitan areas: Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. This report includes the results of case studies on three topics that NACTO members identified as of critical interest. The topic areas are: inter-jurisdictional coordination in traffic management; interagency sharing of fiber optic networks; and facilitating highvolume pedestrian activity. The first two topics address interagency and interjurisdictional issues, subjects of growing importance with the mounting awareness among both cities and suburbs of their interdependence in transportation, land use and economic welfare. The third topic, facilitating pedestrian activity, recognizes cities re-emergence as centers of commerce, leisure activity and particularly tourism, and the growing importance of active downtowns to cities economic fortunes. Each case study write-up is intended to advance the understanding and expertise of transportation officials in managing transportation systems in large cities by sharing the successful experience of other large American cities.
