Abstract:

An attempt is described that is under way in southeastern Wisconsin to convert the conventional urban transportation planning process into a more problem-centered planning process, one that considers and integrates short-range and long-range considerations and comprehensively examines alternative facility and systems management solutions. The key to this improved planning process is the use of a new short-range transportation system plan in place of the conventional short-range transportation systems management plan. The new plan would be aimed at existing and short-range problems. Alternative solutions to be considered would include management and operations actions as well as facility improvements as staged and recommended in the long-range plan. The recommendations of the short-range plan should be appropriate for direct inclusion in the transportation improvement program. The short-range transportation planning process and its relation to long-range transportation planning, the steps that have been taken to apply the process, and some of the general principles used in developing the new short-range plan are discussed. /Author/
