The implementation process, though critical to the success of any project, is not well understood by transportation planners. Implementation of innovative programs is a costly and time-consuming process. The experience from an innovative transportation program is summarized in an effort to contribute to better understanding of this important process and communicate some lessons to planners and decision makers. In 1975 UMTA's Office of Service and Methods Demonstration launched a program to test the concept of automobile restricted zones (ARZs) as a means of revitalizing the downtown environment. This would be achieved by improving transit access, pedestrian amenities, and circulation. A status report of the progress for the four demonstration sites-Boston, Memphis, New York City, and Providence--is presented. Information is based primarily on reports from planners in those cities responsible for the ARZ demonstration program.
