We invite you to join us for our Annual E-Week Transportation Summit. This exciting program will serve as the launch of the latest initiative by the JAXUSA Partnership in the development of the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Business Alliance. The Alliance will serve as the recognized regional private sector voice for transportation initiatives and policy in Northeast Florida focusing on strategic solutions to our issues in transportation. The Alliance will strive to ensure economic vitality and quality of life by providing a private sector leadership focus on mission-critical regional transportation investments. Topics for discussion will include:
· Engaging the private sector
· Impact of Legislation on Regionalism
· Impact of Regionalism on Transportation Funding
· Quality Growth and Regional Development
· Effects of Transportation Issues on Quality of Life
To aid the new Alliance in the development of their goals, a text message based live polling system will be utilized throughout the program to gain your feedback on transportation issues, solutions and more.
