AB - The transportation project environment is complex as project stakeholders most often represent multiple governments because transportation systems are owned and operated by local, state, federal, and tribal governments. Surface transportation projects concerning tribal communities introduce additional complexity to the project environment as an additional layer of institutional relationships and protocols must be recognized. To achieve success on complex transportation projects, a collaborative environment must be established among project stakeholders. One strategy is to use intergovernmental networks for transportation planning and programming to address complex issues within the intergovernmental framework. These intergovernmental networks have been used in states across the nation, and specific cases that resulted from such networks have been documented. This paper investigates the intergovernmental network as a tool for creating a collaborative environment among project stakeholders. The paper also presents best practices by profiling states that have utilized intergovernmental networks for transportation planning as well as success stories resulting from intergovernmental utilization in each state.
