MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AT THE STATE LEVEL

A number of recent and emerging developments have influenced current practice and are shaping future issues in multimodal transportation planning at the state level. Key developments include federal transportation legislation and a shift in focus from facility planning to policy development, system management, customer needs, and financing. Emerging trends and issues include performance-based planning, customer-based planning and the formation of partnerships, the balancing of long-term and immediate needs, alternative financing approaches, elimination of modal biases in solving problems, understanding of the economic effects of goods movement, adoption of new technologies, consideration of the environment and environmental justice, travel forecasting, reengineering of the planning process, and the recruiting and training of qualified professional staff.
