The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning (ADA10) hosted a peer exchange immediately following the 2004 Joint Summer Meeting of the Planning, Economics, Environmental, Finance, Freight, and Management Committees. The meeting was held in Park City, Utah, on July 27-28,2004. The peer exchange focused on cost estimating for transportation planning and incorporating safety into the transportation planning process. The peer exchange was sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The peer exchange was jointly organized by TRB representatives of the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standing Committee on Planning, the Standing Committee on Highways, the Subcommittee on Asset Management, and the FHWA. The primary purpose of the peer exchange was to facilitate an open exchange of information on experiences, concerns, and opportunities related to addressing both cost estimating and safety within the statewide and metropolitan transportation planning processes. A secondary purpose of the peer exchange was to identify a near-term action agenda for improving the state of the practice for addressing safety in transportation planning. While the focus of the peer exchange was on statewide transportation planning, a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) representative participated in the peer exchange, and the state department of transportation (DOT) representatives provided observations from working with their MPO planning partners in regards to the two topics.
