• Abstract:
  This synthesis will be of immediate interest to land use and transportation planning officials, with special interest to state, regional, and local planners and administrators who must respond to the requirements of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). While many of the "15 factors" contained in ISTEA that must be considered in regional planning have been a integral part of the planning practice, others have been added, and all must be included for metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to respond to federal requirements. The "23 factors" required for statewide planning under ISTEA are also addressed in this synthesis. In addition, requirements for reductions in air pollutants under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) have influenced the planning and implementation process in those areas that are not in attainment of the air quality standards. All of these are discussed in this synthesis, which presents the state of the practice during the early implementation of ISTEA.
