Book Urban Transportation Planning in the United States

Download or read book Urban Transportation Planning in the United States written by Edward Weiner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of U.S. urban transportation policy over the past 50 years illustrates the changing relationship between federal, state, and local governments. This comprehensive text examines the evolution of urban transportation planning from early developments in highway planning in the 1930s to the concern for sustainable development and pollution emissions. Focusing on major national events, the book discusses the influence of legislation, regulations, conferences, federal programs, and advances in planning procedures and technology. The book offers an in-depth look at the most significant event in transportation planning—the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962. Creating a federal mandate for a comprehensive urban transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by states and local governments with federal funding, this act was crucial in the spread of urban transporation. Claiming that urban transportation planning is more sophisticated, costly, and complex than its highway and transit planning predecessors, the book demonstrates how urban transportation planning evolved in response to changes in such factors as environment, energy, development patterns, intergovernmental coordination, and federal transit programs. It further illustrates how broader concerns for global climate change and sustainable development have braided the purview of transportation planning.

Paper 3: Because of the growing importance and influence of the work of the urban planner with its attendant impact on the development of highway transportation systems and consequently on the work of the highway engineer, the State Highway Commission of Wisconsin, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin and the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads undertook a study and evaluation of local highway system planning in Wisconsin. Paper 4: A brief review of the geographic concepts that are applicable to urban transportation research. Paper 5: A summary is given of the results of a study of current principles and techniques for predicting the present and future demand for urban area transportation, often referred to as traffic estimation and assignment.

Book Integrating Transportation and Land Use Planning

Download or read book Integrating Transportation and Land Use Planning written by Susan J. Obermayer and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in the transportation system have a large influence on urban development patterns. The lacation, type, and intensity of urban land uses also affet the urban street and highway system. Various federal and state initiatives have been taken to more closely link trasportation and land use. These include the following: The Traffic Congestion Management System (CMS) mandated by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). The CMS regulators specifically state that state and local agencies must address existing congestion and avoid potential future congestion. This clearly implies that the impact of land use and development decisions on transportation must be more effectively addressed than in the past. State-manadated growth management requirements such as those in Oregon, Washington, Florida, and Vermont. State-manadated local planning which must meet state criteria as those in Florida, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Oregon. State-mandated congestion management which requires that the impact of proposed development must be assessed and provides penalties if development that degrades congestion is approved by a local government (California). Access management practicies administered by the state highway agency which are designed to protect the public investment in major state roadways (Colorado, Florida, and New Jersey). In order to address traffic congestion problems, many municipaltiies have implemented travel demand ordinances which are intended to reduce drive-alone auto use and encourage ridesharing and transit. In other locations, such requirements have been, or are being, implemented in response to federal clean air requirements.
