• Abstract:
  Using Alice, Texas, as a model, a template has been developed to increase the cooperation and communication between transportation planning and economic development groups. The template establishes a foundation for coordinating traffic forecasts with projected urban/economic development plans. Currently, the two sets of information are rarely applied together in small Texas cities. Small cities above 10,000 and under 50,000 in population will benefit most from this research effort. Additionally, the template could be a useful planning tool at the Texas Department of Transportation for corridor analyses. This User's Guide presents this model for small Texas cities that will coordinate community development with future transportation plans. The process utilizes traffic and economic data in order to project where improvements need to be made to the existing transportation system.
