2005 Multimodal Leadership Briefing and Tour From January 6-8, 2005, 40+ elected, business, and transportation leaders traveled from North Carolina to San Diego and southern Orange County, California in order to learn from and engage experts on a series of mobility solutions with which North Carolina has little or no experience. Through the 2005 Regional Transportation Alliance Leadership Tour, participants received an opportunity to tour and learn about the operation of HOT/FasTrak lanes, toll roads, local transportation option, ramp meters, trolleys/light rail, regional rail, and more. The goal of the tour was education and collaboration with leaders from another region who face similar issues to those we face in urban areas in North Carolina. Tour participants were able to view a range of solutions, understand the implications of each solution, and discern the relationships that had to be formed among elected officials, government agencies, business and the electorate to implement the solutions. The 2005 Regional Transportation Alliance Leadership Tour to San Diego and southern Orange County, California was acclaimed by both participants and other colleagues as a unique, high-leverage opportunity to identify solutions in place in another high growth area and generate ideas for implementation back home. |
