Much of the work identified in the Plan focuses on increasing the awareness and understanding of project needs among local policy leaders and influential state and federal decision makers. The Plan also addresses how the Coalition will support funding applications and opportunities for transportation related improvements on behalf of its members during the 2008 calendar year. The Work Plan is designed to compliment the 2008 Communications Plan, and highlights project priorities for the upcoming federal funding cycle, preparation for the 2009 Reauthorization Bill, as well as state and local opportunities for matching dollars.
