URBAN TRANSPORTATION DECISION MAKING. SUMMARY

The report is one in a series encompassing ten monographs and a summary. Together they describe the transportation decision process in a number of major cities in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe, and interpret this information in such a way as to derive observations and conclusions useful in the identification of progressive transportation decision-making institutions. The monographs contain largely descriptive information and cover the following cities: United States: Atlanta, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Miami/Dade County, Seattle; Canada: Toronto, Montreal; Europe: Hamburg, Manchester and Leeds, Stockholm and Gothenburg, Amsterdam. Interpretive and analytical information is confined largely to the Summary and Conclusion volume.
