Urban Transportation Planning Comes of Age

Edward Weiner

Chapter Chapter 5 in Urban Transportation Planning in the United States, 2013, pp 39-51 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Urban transportation planning came of age with the passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which required that approval of any federal-aid highway project in an urbanized area of 50,000 or more in population be based on a continuing, comprehensive urban transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by states and local governments. This was the first legislative mandate requiring planning as a condition to receiving federal capital assistance funds. The US Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) moved quickly to issue technical guidance interpreting the act’s provisions.
