THE TOTAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS REGION FOR 1990

This study describes the Total Transportation Plan for the North Central Region for 1990: The region's first multimodal transportation plan. This plan was developed based on socieconomic projects, anticipated travel patterns and characteristics, and utilization of proposed facilities. The plan explores the impacts of all ground transportation systems on economics and land use, natural resources and the environment, and accessibility to employment opportunities as well as many features of the transportation system itself. A total of six alternative ground transportation systems were explored and evaluated, as well as four alternative airport system concepts evaluated for inclusion in the Total Transportation Plan. The recommendations for airports, highways and transit facilities represent the policy direction most favorable for the region in terms of social, environmental, and economic impacts.
