The problems faced by today's public managers are often too large to be solved by a single entity and require collaboration across government, nonprofit, and business sectors. As new technologies and systematic approaches transform the transportation field, cross-sector collaboration has become an increasingly important policy development and implementation approach. Particularly within the transportation field, an assemblage of technologies is often critical to implementing system-wide strategies aimed at, for example, mitigating traffic congestion. In many cases, designers and implementers of effective transportation policies must combine a variety of technologies with deft relationship building and management. Through the development of comparative case studies of three of the Urban Partnership Agreement initiatives, this research study will examine how technology and collaborative processes may be combined to achieve important transportation goals and create public value more generally. The report begins with a narrative description of the implementation phase of the Urban Partnership program in the Twin Cities metro area from June 2008 through August 2009; the development and ultimate unraveling of the program in New York City; and the development and implementation of the Miami program. Subsequent sections cover the methodology, findings about key aspects of the UPA collaboration in Minnesota, New York City, and Miami, and conclusions and implications for transportation policy, planning, and implementation, as well as collaboration more generally.
