LONG-RANGE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING

The workshop on long-range regional transportation planning in the 1980s considered the time frame of regional transportation planning and prepared a list of recommended improvements in transportation analysis methodology to meet the anticipated needs. Discussions were organized to define the most important functions of a long-range or regional nature. Significant issues to be addressed by those functions were then identified, and important considerations and products for those planning efforts were specified. Needed improvements in current methods were then proposed along with necessary research and development. The proposals of this workshop are especially important because of the broad constituency that is represented by agreement among the participants. Six each were from state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations. Most of these agencies have been active leaders in long-range regional transportation planning. The other participants represented a nearly complete spectrum of other interested groups: cities, associations, consultants, universities, and the federal government.
