520 1 $a"The development of U.S. urban transportation policy over the past 50 years illustrates the changing relationships among federal, state, local governments, and the private sector. This comprehensive text examines the evolution of urban transportation planning from early developments in highway planning in the 1930s to today's concerns over sustainable development, security, and pollution control. Focusing on major national events, the book discusses the influence of legislation, regulations, conferences, federal programs, and advances in planning procedures and technology. The book focuses in-depth at the most significant event in transportation planning - the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962. Creating a federal mandate for a comprehensive urban transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by states and local governments with federal funding, this act was crucial in the spread of urban transportation. Claiming that urban transportation planning is more sophisticated, costly, and complex than its highway and transit planning predecessors, the book demonstrates how urban transportation planning evolved in response to changes in such factors as environment, energy, development patterns, intergovernmental coordination and federal transit programs. It further illustrates how broader concerns for global climate change and sustainable development have influenced the process of transportation planning. This updated, revised, and expanded edition highlights the dynamics of transportation planning post-9/11, covers the impact of recent legislation, and emphasizes such timely issues as security, oil dependence, performance measurement, and public-private sector collaboration."--BOOK JACKET.
