It is likely that technology innovations will even further expand the tools available for adaptive capacity. Key to the consideration of adaptive capacity opportunities is careful evaluation of which tools can get more out of the system and increase system performance. Planners, elected decision-makers and the voting public need this data to make informed judgments about the most efficacious use of public dollars.

Washington State Public Transportation Plan Chapter Three: Goals and Action Strategies STRATEGIES PP Use technology to improve access for people with special transportation needs and maximize efficiency and effectiveness, e.g. develop systems to help providers better coordinate service delivery PP Develop and implement integrated, multimodal system improvements that move more people in fewer vehicles and at least cost PP Foster innovation to respond to emerging market opportunities and other system changes through public private partnerships and agency coordination EARLY ACTIONS Immediately after this plan is adopted, WSDOT will prepare a work plan and budget to begin working through these early actions. Each year, WSDOT will update that work program in conjunction with its public transportation partners. • Develop a proposal for an Innovation Lab to foster and support public transportation innovation and adaptation. The Lab will sponsor dialogue, research and projects to: »» Monitor, assess and share innovative strategies and tools that address emerging markets and other system changes »» Address challenging policy issues to facilitate the adoption of innovation »» Develop and make available multimodal transportation data to support innovation »» Support efforts to develop and test public-private funding solutions and new service implementation »» Facilitate innovations through public-private partnerships and interagency coordination Lead: To be identified • Improve the quality and consistency of data sets and access to data to support innovation, agency partnerships and public-private partnerships Lead: To be identified WSDOT | <strong>DRAFT</strong> October 2015 | WaTransPlan.com 77
