TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROCESS REPORT: A SHORT RANGE PLAN FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS REGION

This report represents a joint effort by the agencies and governments involved in transportation in the Indianapolis Region to develop a more systematic approach to the solution of short-range transportation problems; to integrate short-range planning for all types of transportation; and to make more effective use of existing facilities. It also reflects a change in the policy of federal transportation agencies to place greater emphasis on less expensive (noncapital-intensive) transportation improvements. The "Transportation System Management Element" (TSM) is designed to provide a coordinated, technical basis for the noncapital-intensive projects included in the Indianapolis Regional Transportation Improvement Program, in the same way that the long-range transportation planning process supports the implementation of capital-intensive projects. It explains what the local governments of the Indianapolis Region intend to do in the near future to provide for automobile, truck, taxi, transit, pedestrian and bicycle transportation.
