SEVEN APPROACHES TO HIGHWAY PROGRAMMING (STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT SERIES)

This report is a compendium of seven approaches to highway programming based on information provided by Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Louisiana, and Georgia. Some of these States chose to describe particular aspects of their programming processes; other States provided information on several steps of their processes. All of the States noted that decreasing revenues and increasing highway improvement costs and their increasing backlog of highway needs led to their developing new approaches for programming highway improvements. The Iowa approach emphasizes pavement preservation and involvements. The Iowa approach emphasizes pavement preservation and involvement. The Wisconsin approach emphasizes policy alternatives. The Florida approach emphasizes the use of program categories and organizational approach. The Texas approach emphasizes financial control and system benefits as opposed to project benefits. The Illinois approach emphasizes policy development and process. The Louisiana approach emphasizes involvement. And finally, the Georgia approach emphasizes broader considerations in project prioritization. The topics of policy, financial control, planning support, program development process, involvement, and program scheduling are emphasized in the summary. Lastly, conclusions and extensions are drawn to form a basis for a conceptual model for highway programming. (Author)
