Abstract:

As a small, rural metropolitan planning organization (MPO) within Texas, the Killeen-Temple Urban Transportation Study (K-TUTS) is currently confronted with several of the "built-in" issues surrounding current federal and state legislation. The following issues are of primary concern to the MPO: Rural Land Control; Rural vs. Urban Issues; Multi-jurisdictional Projects; and Public Outreach. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these issues and communicate the ideas, methodologies, and experiences of K-TUTS with regards to overcoming these concerns.
