This conference was designed as an opportunity for transportation planners at state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, and transit agencies to meet together and discuss making connections in the transportation planning process. The sessions were organized around making connections in four different areas: connections in the political process; connections to customers; connections between transportation systems and with other types of plans; and connections between planning and programming. This conference, the seventh in the series of statewide transportation planning conferences, was focused on the future. The presentations, breakout sessions, and the informal discussions held during the conference were oriented to how to improve the planning process and future activities that the community could encourage. This circular includes the conference presentations at the following plenary sessions: Opening Plenary Session: Welcome - Welcome to Florida, Y. Llort and Conference Welcome, N.J.
