TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: PROSPECTS FOR SMALL CITIES

A case study of a transportation system management program for the Santa Barbara, California, central business district is reviewed in order to indicate the breadth and scope that similar programs might take in other small urban areas. Three alternative scenarios for transportation management are outlined--maximizing nonautomobile access, and maximizing internal circulation opportunities. The evaluation of more specific options within these categories, according both to potential levels of goal achievement and to local community preferences, is described, and components of a recommended transportation management program are outlined. Conclusions are drawn regarding the applicability of case study concepts and methods to other areas. /Author/
