The Regional Transportation Strategy was initiated in August of ?000. A series of monthly steering committee meetings and several work sessions (with staff from DCHC, CA~'~1P0, NCDOT, RTF, TJCOG and TTA) culminated in a regTOnal briefing on November 15, ?000. This briefing identified the magnitude of the region's unmet transportation needs, and summarized costs and potential ~~inding sources. Subsequently, four innovative "decision lab" sessions were nducted with a diverse group of community leaders. These sessions obtained Feedback concerning priorities, funding mechanisms, equiry• issues, and implementation strategies.
