TRANSIT PLANNING AND THE CENSUS: EXPERIENCE WITH 1980 AND LESSONS FOR 1990

In an effort to generate suggestions for the 1990 census, the experience of the transit planning community is examined by breaking down the process of transit planning into a series of planning processes associated with public transportation. Each of these areas, namely strategic planning, long-range regional planning, project or corridor planning, site or subarea planning, and operations or service planning, are defined by its technical content and reviewed with reference to the utility of census products for that particular type of planning. The national experience in the varied types of planning is then synthesized into a series of recommendations for 1990.
