The Transportation Planning Capacity Building (TPCB) Program has made a book available containing an overview of transportation planning and provides a basic understanding of key concepts in statewide and metropolitan transportation planning, along with references for additional information. The TPCB is available on their web site for review: http://www.planning.dot.gov/documents/briefingbook/bbook.htm. Hard copies will be available soon.
This book has been updated to reflect changes in Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) that affect statewide and metropolitan transportation planning requirements. It is an informational publication that replaces its predecessor, the 2004 "Metropolitan Transportation Planning Process: Key Issues, A Briefing Book for Transportation Decisionmakers, Officials, and Staff" (Publication FHWA-EP-03-041 5/04).
If you have any questions, please contact Ned Conroy, FTA Region 10, at (206) 220-4318 or email ned.conroy@dot.gov.
Sincerely,
