Abstract:Transportation planning often requires coordination across multiple sectors (i.e., transportation and housing), jurisdictions (i.e., neighboring municipalities), and levels of government (i.e., municipal, county, and state) to meet strategic goals. Transportation system development, operations, and performance depends heavily on land use, housing, the economy, environment, and public health. Transportation investments affect outcomes in these sectors as well. Thus, coordination among transportation planners and those doing planning in these sectors leads to mutually beneficial outcomes that fulfill multiple priorities, including reduction in greenhouse gases and criteria air pollutants. Many important decisions about transportation investments are made through statewide and metropolitan transportation planning processes that already cross geographic jurisdictions and multiple priority areas.
