The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) changes the conceptual model for transportation planning and decision making by redefining the set of central problems and acceptable solutions that transportation planners must address and by giving the reshaped planning process a system of information feedback loops. This new conceptual model is called Interactive Transportation Planning and Decision Support (ITPDS). It is characteristically flattened, cross-functional, data-rich, messy, and customer oriented. The implementation of ITPDS would be significantly enhanced by placing stakeholders in a collaborative meeting environment supported by an interactive and accessible geographic information system relationally linked with a variety of data bases, models, and multimedia representations. Although a computer-based ITPDS system is not now in use, it is thoroughly feasible. Such a system would support ISTEA's new data and analysis requirements and improve organizational cooperation and productivity through data sharing, visualization, and consensus building. A computer-based ITPDS would also provide a tool that could graphically link long-range plans with transportation improvement programs.
