Accession Number: 01046149
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: There is a demonstrated need to include rural areas projected to become urbanized by 2010 in the metropolitan transportation planning process. This research is to identify, through a peer research process, novel and low-cost tools and approaches for improving metropolitan transportation planning for rapidly urbanizing rural areas. Results of the 2000 Census showed a gap in the planning process for rural communities near rapidly growing urbanized areas and new urban centers. The metropolitan transportation plan (MTP) or regional transportation plan (RTP) for long-range planning should, but often does not, include areas that will be urbanized within next 20 years. Key rural stakeholders omitted from the process are unprepared for the change in status and funding eligibility for urbanized areas. This research report references examples of innovative transportation planning practices by states and metropolitan planning organizations which include rural communities near rapidly growing urbanized areas, or small towns that are expected to become urbanized by the next U. S. Census. The goal is to identify methods to strengthen the involvement and contribution of key rural stakeholders in the metropolitan planning process.
