Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority Strategic PlanTHE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIPSThe ultimate success of the CCRMA system requires a partnership. These partnerships include all local governmental agencies in CameronCounty along with other South Texas communities and agencies and Federal officials in the US and Mexico. Additionally, pertinentcommunication with various Mexican government representatives, such as the Secretary of Communications and Transportation of Mexico, theState of Tamaulipas and the City of Matamoros will be necessary to ensure effective coordination of CCRMA projects and existing and proposedMexico Transportation Infrastructure. As the system moves from concept to reality, each agency must be prepared to accept various roles andresponsibilities.Understanding the importance of regional partnerships, TxDOT provided funding for startup projects and continues to work with the CCRMA onnumerous projects on the System Map. The respective MPO’s are including the proposed system in the region’s long range transportation plansso that state and federal funding will be available. As the tolled lane system becomes operational and a revenue stream is established, theCCRMA will become a locally controlled, self‐sustaining organization with its own project development, construction, operations andmaintenance capabilities.THE IMPORTANCE OF JOB CREATIONThe CCRMA has committed to aggressively promoting the economy of Cameron County by building the necessary infrastructure that will supportthe region’s growth and economic development. Critical to today’s economy is the ability to positively influence job creation and supportexisting employment in Cameron County. The FHWA estimates that approximately 30,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs are supported forevery $ 1 Billion that is invested in Transportation Infrastructure. Construction‐oriented jobs are directly and indirectly supported by theopportunity offered to local construction firms working on CCRMA projects and those firms providing supplies and support to those constructionfirms.Additionally, creation and support of these jobs promote economic benefit to jobs dependent of consumer expenditures from the wages ofworkers. Using these assumptions, the CCRMA program of $1.7 Billion is expected to support over 50,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs.Adding to the benefits of CCRMA’s investment in our transportation infrastructure are improvements to quality development to the region andto the quality of life of our labor force.23
