The New Orleans Adopt-A-Catch Basin Program and Citizen Involvement
The New Orleans Adopt-A-Catch Basin Program is the city’s first experiment that puts democratic concepts into practice concerning water management. The program as codified in city ordinance Section 66–287 requires adoptive citizens to be responsible for maintaining the catch basin and the area extending 18 inches off the curb line. This paper examines the adoption of co-production of services between the city and its citizens and analyzes how eff…
Disconnects in Megaregional Freight Planning Are Holding Back the Louisiana Gulf Coast
The megaregion has emerged as the preferred unit of analysis for freight transportation and global trade. In the United States, trade and transportation barriers of state boundaries can impede the formation of megaregions, resulting in the hampering of economic development. As a preliminary investigation of the Gulf Coast megaregion, we performed a content analysis of the relationship between freight-related themes in the comprehensive and long-r…
Aspa’s Section on Transportation Policy and Administration
The Section on Transportation Policy and Administration (STPA) of the American Society for Public Administration was chartered in 1992 as an organization dedicated to bringing together scholars, practitioners, and students interested in the role played by transportation in society. Although transportation policy and administration is somewhat specialized as a subject matter area in public administration, STPA grew rapidly in the 1990s due in larg…
Ending Transportation Neglect in America
America is a consumption addicted commuter nation, but our once beloved transportation infrastructure is suffering from years of neglect jeopardizing this way of life. Public administration seems to have all but abandoned the subject and, thus, transportation policies and the implementation of those policies are seriously flawed. This article explores the progression of transportation policy in the United States as it relates to our federal syste…
A New Public Philosophy for a New Railroad Era
This article begins an effort to demonstrate the relevance of the Refounding perspective to a new generation of public administrators, using railroad policy as an example. After introducing the Blacksburg Manifesto and the public philosophy that forms the normative grounding of the Refounding project, the article uses railroad administration, with its characteristics of corporatism and pluralism, to highlight the dominant Hamiltonian-Madisonian p…
Economic Development Perspectives and the Policy Process
State and local governance operates in the context of multiple competing economic development perspectives. This article highlights three perspectives: Thomas Friedman’s flat world metaphor, Richard Florida’s spiky creative class world, and Michael Shuman’s localism, and reviews their resulting implications for a specific case in Mississippi. The examination of whether to revitalize the Columbus and Greenville Railroad in Mississippi or turn it i…
Using a Multiple Criteria Decision-Making Model to Streamline and Enhance Nepa and Public Participation Processes
The use of existing data from remote sensing technologies, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and economic modeling can be integrated in a visual Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tool that can aid in streamlining and enhancing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and public participation. The interoperability of different data outputs provides researchers and practitioners the ability to produce high quality visualizati…
Public Administration Theory in the Obama Era
The authors listed above and a few others met during the 2009 Public Administration Theory Network Conference, as part of the Open Space Technology process, to talk about what the new Obama administration might mean for public administration theory. Open Space Technology is a self-organizing process where participants set their own agenda to discuss complex topics of interest (see Stout & Bryer, 2009. This essay summarizes our conversation and pr…
Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework to Understand Freight Transportation Policy Change
The advocacy coalition framework (ACF) was developed to study complex, enduring public policy processes involving multiple actors. In this article, it is applied to the freight transportation policy subsystem in the United States, in which the highway motor complex has traditionally dominated coalitions from other transportation modes (e.g., railroads, aviation, and inland waterways). Using historical analysis and the Appalachian wood products in…
Planning to Include the Public
The following research is a Virginia case study evaluating planning processes as they implement the following legislation: NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act), 1969, ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act), 1991, and TEA-21 (Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century), 1998. Specifically, the implementation of the legislation requiring citizen participation will be reviewed in an effort to evaluate how the policy pro…
The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority
Molotch, Stone, and others demonstrated that business leaders exercise major influence in American urban politics. Business leaders with local economic interests have long promoted growth in American cities. This article discusses the historical influence of Atlanta's business leaders in the city's economic growth and focuses on their role in the policy shifts in the 1990s, from unfettered growth to “smart growth.” In response to Atlanta's worsen…
