2009 Flexible Design for 21st Century Challenges: Balancing Competing Objectives and Optimizing Return on Investments Forum

CTS hosted the Flexible Design for 21st Century Challenges: Balancing Competing Objectives and Optimizing Return on Investments Forum on February 23-24, 2009. Sponsored by Mn/DOT, the forum was held to “jump start” and tailor a concerted Minnesota initiative to apply greater and more consistent flexibility in transportation planning, design development, and operations statewide. The forum focused on improving the understanding of opportunities to apply greater design flexibility, how to use design flexibility to increase the return on transportation investments, and institutional challenges that need to be addressed to be more successful. An action plan for implementation will be developed based on discussions from the forum.
