CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR AN URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING INFORMATION SYSTEM

The system is designed to help state and local planning agencies maintain a current data base to support the 'surveillance' component of the continuing urban transportation planning process. Particular emphasis is placed on the needs of urban areas of 50,000 - 500,000 population and on the use of existing, local government data sources. Separate sections deal with: (1) The continuing transportation planning process; (2) system design and data sources; (3) computer requirements and software support; (4) system implementation and management; and (5) estimated staff and resource requirements.
