2.A.3) Implement a regional research agenda to inform planning and development policy

A regional research agenda is necessary to coordinate and focus research efforts to support MetroFuture implementation.  The primary data collection described in Recommendation 2 is one component of these research efforts; detailed, context-driven analysis is also necessary to support regional dialogue, legislative action, and place-based or project-based planning.  

Many regional academic institutions, advocacy organizations, public agencies, and private sector entities are already conducting research relevant to MetroFuture implementation.  MAPC should continue and expand its relationships and collaborations with these partners.  MAPC should also consider developing an agency-specific research agenda that would support specific MetroFuture implementation campaigns and address regional topic not studied by other stakeholders.
