Abstract:This report describes a project which assessed the California General Plan process as a tool for implementing sustainable development, with focus on transportation systems at the local level, and including the relationship of local transportation systems to regional and statewide systems. The project involved a literature review on the California General Plan process, the nature of sustainability and sustainable transportation, and criteria and evaluation methods for plans. Detailed analyses were conducted of policies from 26 General Plans against criteria designed to measure transportation sustainability and plan quality. In-depth case studies of the General Plan process were conducted in seven California communities. Results from informant interviews were also included. Conclusions reflect the desirability of encouraging more frequent General Plan updates, a need for grater emphasis on implementation of plan policies, as well as the need for and utility of educational and outreach efforts directed at enhancing the proliferation of General Plan policies which promote more sustainable transportation systems at the local level.
