TRANSPORTATION DATA NEEDS: PROGRAMS FOR A NEW ERA - IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE DOTS AND MPOS. PROCEEDINGS OF A CONFERENCE, IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, MAY 27-29, 1992. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

This section of the proceedings presents a summary of the conference findings. Mr. Wickstrom discusses the multiplicity of characteristics that require attention and integration in the transportation planning/decision-making process. Mr. Pedersen examines one important element to be considered in the transportation planning/decision-making process - the person(s) to whom the information for decision-making is being provided, then discusses what a comprehensive data collection and analysis plan should include, and what a cooperative partnership effort between state DOTs and MPOs should include. He lists the areas where data collection management challenges are, then lists the challenges.
