• Abstract:
  The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) broke significant ground in giving State and local decisionmakers greater discretion in the use of Federal transportation dollars. In particular, ISTEA’s flexible fund programs now provide transportation planners and decisionmakers with the flexibility to fund transportation projects, programs, and initiatives which best meet locally determined goals and objectives for mobility, economic opportunity, and air quality. The key to getting the most out of flexible funding is understanding the multimodal transportation planning process which identifies the most appropriate solutions for our most urgent local and regional transportation problems.
