Download or read book Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning written by Reid Ewing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning at a metropolitan scale is important for effective management of urban growth, transportation systems, air quality, and watershed and green-spaces. It is fundamental to efforts to promote social justice and equity. Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning shows how the most innovative metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the United States are addressing these issues using their mandates to improve transportation networks while pursuing emerging sustainability goals at the same time. As both a policy analysis and a practical how-to guide, this book presents cutting-edge original research on the role accessibility plays - and should play - in transportation planning, tracks how existing plans have sought to balance competing priorities using scenario planning and other strategies, assesses the results of various efforts to reduce automobile dependence in cities, and explains how to make planning documents more powerful and effective. In highlighting the most innovative practices implemented by MPOs, regional planning councils, city and county planning departments and state departments of transportation, this book aims to influence other planning organizations, as well as influence federal and state policy discussions and legislation.

Download or read book Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Transportation Planning written by Mason F. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal law requires state and local governments to designate a metropolitan planning organisation (MPO) in each urbanised area with a population of 50,000 or more to help plan surface transportation infrastructure and services. There are currently 381 MPOs nation-wide. Despite some strengthening of their authority over the years, MPOs have generally remained subordinate to state departments of transportation (DOTs) in the planning and selecting ("programming") of projects using federal surface transportation funds. Moreover, it can be argued that at the metropolitan level, MPOs are subordinate to local governments that own and operate many elements of the transportation system, and also control land use planning and zoning. This book discusses the authority of MPOs to plan and program funds; representation and participation in MPOs; MPO funding and technical capacity and implementation of liveability initiatives.

Book excerpt: The FTA and FHWA have initiated a series of joint Enhanced Planning Reviews (EPRs) to assess the impact of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) on the planning processes conducted by the transportation agencies serving metropolitan areas. The ERPs are also intended to determine the effects of planning on transportation investment processes. The ERP for Honolulu included a federal site visit from January 9 through January 12, 1995. At the conclusion of the site visit, the team presented preliminary observations and recommendations to the local agencies taking part of the review. The team formulated several additional observations as a result of the further review of documents and notes.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Abstract: Planning transportation across jurisdictions is a challenge faced in geographic areas throughout the U.S. Researchers identify megaregions as the sub-set of major regions, often multi-state, with the most significant transportation challenges, opportunities, and resultant needs based on forecasts of shifts in demographic and economic trends, freight flows, and passenger demand. These areas present major opportunities for transportation to contribute to national, regional, and local areas thru improved global trade and competitiveness and economic development. This report explores innovative ways that metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are working with partners to begin to conduct planning to address the transportation issues of megaregions. The research includes a focus on how MPOs are working within their planning agency roles identified in Federal regulations to explore needs outside of their boundaries. This report explores the benefits that MPOs and their partners receive from participating in megaregions planning, as well as the institutional and technical challenges. The report provides insights on successful planning approaches for peer MPOs, their partners, and policymakers with an interest in advancing similar planning initiatives."--Technical report documentation page.
