• Abstract:
  This case study report is intended to provide metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), state departments of transportation and transit agencies with a greater understanding of the important role that financial information plays in the planning and programming process. The study purpose was to examine how MPOs and state DOTs responded to ISTEA's financial constraint requirement, and how MPOs and DOTs work together to implement projects while financially constraining both the Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) and Long Range Plans (LRPs). Basically, the study addresses three questions: How do MPOs and state DOTs interact in the exchange of financial data?; How are federal obligation authority adjustments made and how do they impact both MPO and DOT planning and programming efforts?; and, How are MPO TIPs and LRPs incorporated into statewide TIPs and plans?
