My approach to corridor planning and operations
Relationships: foundation of trust, have conflict instead of conflict avoidance, help each other, collaborate
the big issues
Manage demand
The traditional ITS tools
Shorten incident duration (incident response plans, incident response)
Ramp metering
Variable message signs
Have good information; measure performance; data driven decisions; decision support systems
All users, all modes. Person throughput, not vehicle throughput; use the entire transportation system, shift travel to other times, shift travel away from single occupancy vehicles, eliminate the need to travel

Who does this approach help, who does it hurt?
Corridor plans: what are the stakeholder and community intentions for this road, this corridor?
