Linking Community Visioning and Highway Capacity Planning. The Second Strategic Highway Research Program.

摘要

The second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Capacity area is working toward designing a transportation planning and project development decision-making framework that better integrates transportation decisions with social, economic, and environmental considerations. In the context of transportation planning, the practice of visioning has been employed by some agencies to enable decisions that are more integrated with related issues, more coordinated with partner agencies, and more closely connected to the values of a community. Visioning holds great potential to facilitate collaborative decision-making processes, and the SHRP 2 program has developed practical guidance for practitioners on the role of visioning and links to transportation planning.
