STATE TRANSPORTATION IN TRANSITION

The institutions upon which state government places the responsibility of providing citizens with transportation services are changing to meet changing needs in an orderly fashion, without disrupting existing state transportation programs that continue to provide needed services to the people. Public transit is viewed as an alternate to the open-ended approach of building more highways, especially in urban areas where the financial, environmental, and social costs of new highways are becoming exceptionally high to individual communities and the states.
