Commission on Innovative Finance
The charge of the Commission on Innovative Finance is to provide a set of recommendations regarding viable innovative finance strategies to advance the regions' transportation needs, including all modes as well as the necessary connections with our land use, economic, environmental and quality of life needs. Initiated with a workshop in June 2007, the Summary Report covers the activities of the Commission participants and a
Presentation Slideshow provides an overview of the effort. Also, an FHWA commissioned paper for Peer Workshops on Integrating Innovative Finance into transportation planning may be helpful in understanding the process of the Commission's work.
