Drivers for ChangeFunding and Needs Don’t Match
Decreasing revenue streamAging infrastructureProjects driven by program priorities
Programs compete for limited funding Various needs compete to be included in projects Some needs don’t fit well within other programs

No two situations are alikeOne size does not fit allTransportation world is evolving:
Rarely do we build on new alignments Squeezing more into existing corridors No longer are we vehicle centric >>> Multimodal,
Sustainable, IntegratedEncourage innovative designsFocus scope to free up funding for other needs
Flexibility in ProgrammingNeeds Identified thru Department-wide
