Emerging trends and issues include performance-based planning, customer-based planning and the formation of partnerships, the balancing of long-term and immediate needs, alternative financing approaches, elimination of modal biases in solving problems, understanding of the economic effects of goods movement, adoption of new technologies, consideration of the environment and environmental justice, travel forecasting, reengineering of the planning process, and the recruiting and training of qualified professional staff.
