This guide is the result of the Indiana Governor’s Council ‘s Community Transportation Initiative (CTI) The purpose of CTI was to generate energy and creative ideas to promote an expanded transportation system in Indiana. The CTI project used an academy model to train teams representing leadership in service, business, and government from local communities in the state. The model uses a series of steps to create a working plan specific to the needs of a community. The steps can be used independently or as training tool for a larger class comprised of multiple teams.
