PANEL DISCUSSION: TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND INFORMATION NEEDS IN THE 1990S

It is observed that the problems that one will be faced with in the 1990s are going to be associated with social equity issues, tax impacts, and similar issues. These users are often geographic users and can be dealt with better if the geographic framework is readily manipulated and displayed. The packaging of the geography is a critical issue. It is hoped that the Census Bureau will develop an in-house screening capability which would allow prepackaging of material in a much more effective way. In marketing, the packaging of the daytime population will be crucial. In the transportation sector, programming issues, and the equity and timing of the programming options will depend on the impact of the projects on the people who live and work there. The 1990s will test the ability to describe the social and economic impacts in a more flexible and accurate way.
