This Is Where The Work Begins!

You have entered the interactive space of Industry Action Plans. When you register as a Participating Stakeholder you can add your concerns and perspectives to one or more Industry Action Plans (IAP).

Industry Action Plans: In Gear, In Development, and Future

In Gear

These are the industries where we see the pressing need for progress and have already gotten a jump start on the work. Our first Industry Action Plan is VitalRail.

In Development

  • RE-CARD, Rail Enabled Cement and Aggregates Regional Distribution
  • RE-POWER, Rail Enabled Power Distribution
  • RE-GLASS, Rail Enabled Glass Logistics and Sustainable Supply
  • FTLUS, Freight Transportation Land Use Strategy
  • RE-BAR, Rail Enabled Brownfield Asset Redevelopment

Future

Do you want to suggest and/or even co-lead CAPSI's work in other industries? Although, our initial focus is on rail's contribution to industrial productivity, CAPSI is designed to improve all industries that can benefit from collaborative progress.

Natural Resources

When deciding how best to streamline an existing industrial system, stakeholders must evaluate all elements within and affected by that system.

  • Water
  • Air
  • Land
    • FTLUS, Freight Transportation Land Use Strategy
    • RE-BAR, Rail Enabled Brownfield Asset Redevelopment

Setting the Design Criteria for CAPSI

  • What do stakeholders want to add to the CAPSI Ethics and Principles?
  • How do you think stakeholders should address CAPSI and Industry Action Plan goals?
  • What Planning Protocols do stakeholders agree on?
  • What Outcomes do stakeholders envision?
  • What outcomes do we want for the environment?
  • What outcomes do we want for citizens?
  • What outcomes do we want for business?
  • What outcomes do we want for investors?
  • What resources does society need and want to optimize?
  • What goods does society need and want to have available?
  • What Measures of progress do stakeholders want to apply?

Reinventing Public-Private Sector Collaboration

  • How do we want planning to support sustainable industrial systems?
  • What benefits do stakeholders want Collaborative Industrial Optimization to deliver?
  • How do we want public-sector economic development to contribute to sustainable industrial systems?
  • How do we want private-sector commercial activity to align with sustainable industrial systems?
  • How do we want land use decisions to contribute to sustainable industrial systems?
  • How do we want transportation planning to evolve to support sustainable industrial systems?
  • How can academic and commercial research support sustainable industrial systems?
  • What factors do we want to include in assessing the full impact of industrial systems?
  • How must interactions among public and private sector entities evolve to support systemwide sustainability?

Reconceiving Capital Deployment

  • How do we want capital deployment to support sustainable industrial systems?
  • How do we want investors’ decisions on capital deployment to evolve?
  • How do we want business stakeholders’ approach to capital deployment to evolve?
  • How do we want lenders’ approach to capital deployment to evolve?
  • How do we want public agencies’ approach to capital deployment to evolve?
  • What advantages will Sustainable Systems Capitalization deliver?

CAPSI's Geographic Planning Regions
