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.
