The Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment

The Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment is located within the Office of the Secretary of Transportation and was created in 2002 to encourage the coordination of multimodal and intermodal planning across the various transportation modes within the commonwealth.

The goals of the office are to provide solutions that:

Link existing systems
Reduce congestion
Improve safety, mobility, and accessibility
Provide for greater travel options

The office also develops reports and tools to measure the performance of the transportation system.

Major accomplishments of the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment include:

Coordination of development of a Statewide Multimodal Freight Study (to be completed 2009)
Coordination of the Multimodal Grant Program (ongoing)
Coordination of the Governor’s Transportation Accountability Commission (2007)
