MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AT THE STATE LEVEL - STATE OF THE PRACTICE AND FUTURE ISSUES

To review current practices and to prepare for future issues in its field, the Transportation Research Board's Committee on Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning conducted a series of peer reviews leading up to the July 1999 conference on statewide transportation planning. The wide-ranging reviews looked at the implications of recent federal transportation legislation and the shift of focus away from facility planning to policy development, system management, customer needs, and financing. Topics included performance-based planning; forming partnerships with a diverse public; balancing long-term and immediate needs; investigating alternative financing; solving problems without modal biases; understanding the economic effects of goods movement; adopting new technologies; considering the environment and environmental justice; consensus building; travel forecasting; reengineering the planning process; recruiting and training qualified professional staff; and more.
