THE I-95 CORRIDOR COALITION: ADVANCING INTERMODAL IVHS IN A COMPLEX INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT

To initiate the coordination of transportation service across jurisdictional lines, the major transportation agencies in the Northeast have banded together to form the I-95 Corridor Coalition. Included in the Coalition are each of the 12 Departments of Transportation in the Corridor stretching from Maine to Virginia, 12 toll authorities that operate major facilities within the corridor, the transportation departments of Washington, D.C. and New York City as well as the USDOT. The vision of the Coalition is for the providers of transportation services along the I-95 Corridor -- from Richmond, Virginia to Portland, Maine -- to establish the necessary real-time communication links so that collectively -- as individual entities and as a coordinated team -- they might operate their part of the system on a real-time basis using IVHS technology for the benefit of their travel customers in the corridor.
