The Urban Workshop assessed current trends and issues in the urban planning process and their relationship to data requirements. Conclusions and recommendations of this workshop are as follows: (1) The mandated requirement for a continuing process of monitoring and reporting transportation trends in urban areas that was rescinded in 1983 needs to be reconsidered. (2) The program to produce the special journey to work package (the CTPP), an agreement between the states and the Bureau of the Census, is the single highest priority for meeting urban data requirements and should be fully supported by local governments, metropolitan planning organizations, states, and federal agencies. (3) UMTA and FHWA should undertake programs to encourage and support collateral data collection activities in the 1990s that would complement the decennial census data collection effort. (4) Consideration should be given to a continuing performance measurement process for metropolitan areas. The data set developed in a study of performance measurement needs in 1976 should form the basis for such a reevaluation. An NCHRP synthesis of effective practice in this area is warranted. (5) A national congestion-monitoring data set providing public information on traffic trends in major cities was identified as a needed and useful undertaking to inform national policy and support comparative analyses in individual metropolitan areas. (6) A condition and performance monitoring capability for transit, akin to the HPMS is needed, particularly to gain knowledge of capital reconstruction needs for fixed transit facilities. A parallel highway program related to UMTA Section 15 reporting was noted as desirable.
