... For example, the state might want each corridor study to consider needs associated with freight movement to promote economic development, identify areas where ITS technologies could be readily used to maximize system preservation, or consider the use or expansion of public transit in corridors where sufficient demand might exist.

From page 18...
... Given the importance of corridor study results to the statewide transportation planning process, it is important that similar management structures be used in all of the studies. For example, a standard procedure might include both a DOT district and central planning staff member for each corridor study to promote consistency with state guidelines.

... Establish a process for using information from corridor analysis for the statewide plan update and for STIP development. This step establishes the process for using different corridor study input to define the fiscally constrained statewide investment program or the statewide transportation plan.
