ITS PRIMARY SOURCE OF PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE IS MEMBERSHIP DUES, WHICH SUPPORT ALL PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES ON AN INTEGRATED BASIS. MEMBERS RECEIVE ACCESS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FULL PLATFORM OF POLICY DEVELOPMENT, RESEARCH, AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT ACROSS TRANSPORTATION, ENVIRONMENT, AND LAND USE INITIATIVES, RATHER THAN TO SEPARATELY PRICED PROGRAM SERVICES. BECAUSE THESE ACTIVITIES ARE DELIVERED COLLECTIVELY, MEMBERSHIP DUES CANNOT BE MEANINGFULLY ATTRIBUTED TO INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM SERVICE CATEGORIES. ACCORDINGLY, SUCH REVENUE IS REPORTED WITHIN MEMBERSHIP-SUPPORTED PROGRAM SERVICES IN PART III, WHICH REPRESENTS PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES FUNDED BY GENERAL MEMBERSHIP DUES ACROSS ALL PROGRAM AREAS. THIS CATEGORY ALSO INCLUDES CERTAIN PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH MEMBERSHIP ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING PERSONNEL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OTHER COSTS RELATED TO MEMBER ENGAGEMENT, EDUCATION, AND SUPPORT, WHICH ARE SIMILARLY NOT ALLOCATED TO SPECIFIC PROGRAM SERVICE CATEGORIES. 57600 0 1206570 1823195 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 7 0
