As part of the investment strategy, we see two elements that we need to be pursuing. One is alternative revenue tools that could help us sustain the level of investment required to build our transportation services. The second element is a way in which all levels of government can support elements of the implementation of the regional transportation plan.
The regional transportation plan, if I can use your term, I would see as the harmonizing tool to say that there's a compelling vision of how we want to develop the system and that there are particular elements in the potential projects being funded that make sense for the federal government. Maybe there are other projects that are less compelling for the federal government. That could hold true for other levels of government as you look at different elements.
I think the role of the transportation plan is to say that here's the suite of projects that we want to move forward with and here are the priorities, so how can we build a partnership--which we can all buy into--to deliver on services that is going to help our economy and is going to help millions of people who live in our communities?
