INTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY ACT: FLEXIBLE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS
ISTEA's emphasis on economic efficiency, concern for the environment, and equitable delivery of transportation services has required that states and metropolitan areas take a multimodal approach to systems planning. The key to getting most out of flexible funding is understanding the multimodal transportation planning process. The intent of this fifth annual report is to describe what a multimodal transportation system provides for the community it serves, and how flexible funding can support state and metropolitan area efforts to develop and maintain a system which provides users with multiple options for meeting mobility and accessibility needs. The report shows how flexible funds can be and have been used successfully for a variety of transportation projects and programs. Several examples/case studies are presented of how flexible funds have worked for communities around the nation, and how the key elements of a multimodal planning process can help areas maintain mobility, reduce congestion, and provide more options for travel, while promoting community and economic development goals.
