The Denver metropolitan region is a hub for multimodal transportation systems which support the growth and development of business, industry, government, travel, sports, entertainment and community infrastructure. Leaders in the region have had the vision to innovatively, entrepreneurially and accountably work on building three major megaprojects successfully in the last couple of decades, with significant work still developing.

AbstractSeptember 11 was the catalytic event that clearly demonstrated that transportation security was a virtual myth. We had obviously overinvested in efficiency‐based mechanisms and procedures while the security and safety standards provided by effectiveness considerations were being increasingly ignored. This article analyzes the increasingly dangerous situation as it unfolded and provides an Emerging Entrepreneurial Management and Public Policy Model designed to provide insights towards rebalancing our transportation security and public policy considerations as we attempt to design, implement, and pay for optimal security systems to deal with the terrorism threats we face in the early twenty‐first century. Rebalancing the model and the equations will require increased focus, will, and skills. It will also be a lot more expensive . . . in both the private and the public sectors.

Closes a symposium on terrorism & transportation security by revisiting a portion of Johnston's "Terrorism and Transportation Policy and Administration: Balancing the Model and Equations for Optimal Security" (2004), which addresses the exposure to risk in transportation security that culminated in the September 11, 2001, attacks. Here, focus is on the original text's Emerging Entrepreneurial Management & Public Policy Model to demonstrate the extent to which the US has made adjustments. The outcome of not adequately resetting the model, ie, adjusting to catalytic events, means exposure to risk of another catastrophic incident, as in the case of the two space shuttle disasters. Thus, attention is given to rebalancing the model & adjusting toward more transportation security & safety. Demonstrated is how the model provides a unifying perspective & operational frame of reference for each contribution as well as future analyses. 1 Figure. J. Zendejas

ABSTRACTThis article examines air transportation policy and administration at the millennium. It reviews and analyzes major problem areas and focuses on issues that have to be dealt with to streamline the policy and administration in the field as it becomes more integrated in our increasingly intermodal transportation system. The first part of the article sets the stage for the changes experienced after deregulation: It utilizes an analytical model to examine: airports; airline industry management; terrorism and security; and safety, equipment and human resources. The second part of the article focuses more specifically on a policy and administration analysis itself. It demonstrates how we have evolved into a customer model more aligned with the market place, efficiency, and risk taking; while moving away from a safer and less entrepreneurial period identified as the citizen model period. With the canage of models, we find trust diminished. Passengers, customers and citizens, become more disenchanted and cynical, to the point of organizing through elected officials to promote an airline passenger bill of rights and reform the system.
