Statewide Transportation Planning

"In the 21st century... a successful statewide transportation planning activity will be determined by the leadership in leading change. It is not simply going to be, did you get my projects delivered, but have you successfully led the charge for change in your organizations, from construction to operations, from a focus of you do whatever you are told to do, to a strategy for how successfully you lead change." - Gloria Jeff
