October 1, 2013
Engaging the Private Sector in Freight Planning is a one-day workshop intended to provide techniques and strategies to help practitioners establish and strengthen relationships with the private sector. It is designed for practitioners addressing freight issues at metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), State departments of transportation, local governments, and economic development agencies.
Building knowledge of both private sector business needs and the public sector transportation planning process supports the effective integration of freight into many statewide and metropolitan transportation plans and investment decisions. Developing and sustaining relationships, either formally or informally, with key private sector stakeholders is critical to effective freight transportation planning. Upon completion of this workshop participants will be able to develop an action plan that will engage freight stakeholders in their agencies’ planning processes.
This one-day course that will be held at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet office building in Frankfort, KY on October 1, 2013. There is no cost to attend; contact Bernadette.Dupont@dot.gov from FHWA – Kentucky Division for more course details and to register.
