STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

An analysis of the way in which transportation planning should be carried out at the state level in conditions of uncertainty is presented. The overriding issue in most states at the moment is that expected highway revenues will not meet expected highway needs. The approaches being taken are management's response to a need for state governments to more effectively deal with available resources. The courses of action available to the states include preservation of the existing transportation system, emphasis on possible rather than desirable improvements, a focus on specific corridors for modal trade-off, more extensive education in energy conservation, land use control to protect highway utility, early and continued public involvement, and management accountability for implementation of state transportation improvement programs.
