Abstract
The lack of systematic planning and policy-making to optimize the NEC’s overall
transportation infrastructure is obviously not due to an absence of agencies and organizations
that focus on the Corridor and its subareas. The opposite is true. A mosaic exists, and the intent
of this report is to provide an overview of the array of public entities that, in addition to those of
the national government and state departments of transportation, have formal responsibility for
planning and policy-making for some portion of the NEC’s primary transportation infrastructure
and service operations.
