TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. MONITORING AND FORECASTING
A manual is provided which describes procedures for assembling inventories of the street and highway system, the public transportation system, and land use and socioeconomic characteristics. Methods are outlined for monitoring the performance of the transportation system and general community development in order to determine if development trends are evolving as forecast and to update the base inventory. Changes in the following areas are monitored: land use, population, dwelling units, and auto registration; employment; vehicle miles of travel; transit patronage; and transportation system service and operation. The manual also describes procedures for forecasting data items needed in urban transportation system planning: population and dwelling units, mean income, auto ownership, and retail and nonretail employment.
