Review of the Transportation Planning Process in the Chicago Metropolitan Area

摘要

This report is the second of a series produced by the Federal TransitAdministration (FTA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by the Volpe Center. The purpose of the review was to allow the FHWA and the FTA determine how successfully the Urban Transportation Planning Process (UTPP) addresses broadly defined regional transportation needs, and whether the planning process meets the requirements of the joint planning regulations. The review focused on the transportation and air quality planning activities of the Chicago Area Transportation Study, Illinois DOT, and the Regional Transportation Authority and its three divisions. This report contains the observations, findings, and suggestions on each segment of the planning process.
