CONTINUING URBAN TRANSPORTATION STUDIES
CONTINUING URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING STUDIES WILL CONDUCT A WORK PROGRAM IN TWO PARTS: AN INITIAL UPDATING PHASE AND THE CONTINUING PHASE. INITIAL UPDATING OF AN ORIGINAL STUDY WILL INVOLVE ADDITIONAL DATA COLLECTION, EVALUATION OF TRAVEL FORECASTING PROCEDURES AND DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN NEW FORECASTING MODELS, TESTING OF FORECASTING PROCEDURES, NEW FORECASTS OF AREA DEVELOPMENT AND OF TRAVEL DEMANDS, AND RE-EVALUATION OF THE RECOMMENDED REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN. FOLLOWING THE INITIAL UPDATING, THE STUDY SHOULD BE PUT ON A CONTINUING BASIS. A FLOW CHART IS PRESENTED OF THE SECOND PORTION OF THE WORK PROGRAM WHICH DESCRIBES THE SURVEILLANCE, THE RE-APPRAISAL, SERVICE, RESEARCH, AND REPORTING FUNCTIONS CONSIDERED NECESSARY. THE SURVEILLANCE PHASE, WHICH IMPLIES THE CONTINUING OBSERVATION OF ALL ASPECTS OF AREAWIDE DEVELOPMENT AFFECTING TRANSPORTATION, MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS: (1) ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING DEVELOPMENT, (2) POPULATION, (3) LAND USE, (4) TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES INCLUDING THOSE FOR MASS TRANSPORTATION, (5) TRAVEL PATTERNS, (6) TERMINAL AND TRANSFER FACILITIES, (7) TRAFFIC CONTROL FEATURES, (8) ZONING ORDINANCES, SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, BUILDING CODES, ETC., (9) FINANCIAL RESOURCES, AND (10) SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY VALUE FACTORS, SUCH AS PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE, PARKS, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, HISTORICAL SITES AND BUILDINGS, ENVIRONMENTAL AMENITIES, AND AESTHETICS. THE ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM SHOULD INCLUDE: (1) ESTIMATE OF TOTAL POPULATION AND TOTAL EMPLOYMENT CHANGE BY MAJOR GEOGRAPHICAL SECTION OF THE AREA, (2) ESTIMATE OF TOTAL TRIP ENDS BY MAJOR GEOGRAPHICAL SECTION OF THE AREA, (3) ESTIMATE OF VEHICLE-MILES OF TRAVEL BY SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF TRAFFIC COUNTS, AND (4) A WRITTEN ACCOUNTING OF CHANGES IN ZONING AND SUBDIVISION CONTROLS, INCLUDING ALL SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS MADE TO ZONING PROVISIONS. FIVE-YEAR AND TEN-YEAR UPDATING PLANS ARE PRESENTED.
