Regional Coordination Workshops

Project Description

There is a demonstrated need for outreach, education, training and technology transfer for transportation professionals involved in regional human service transit coordination. This project provided training and technology transfer based on recent research efforts to improve regional coordination and transit services.

The purpose of the Regional Coordination Workshop was to improve effectiveness of transportation service, generate efficiencies in operation, enhance customer service and satisfaction, and encourage cooperation and coordination through use of technology. The sessions used themed learning tracks and covered the topics of effective partnerships, coordinated planning, technology, marketing/outreach, and public involvement.

The Regional Coordination Workshop was held on July 23 and 24, 2008, in Austin, Texas, and was 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.
