• Abstract:
  A continuing transportation planning program has been underway in the San Diego area since the early 1950 's. Modem transportation planning began in a 1952-53 roadside and dwelling unit origin-destination survey conducted by the California Division of Highways in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, at a time when the process was still termed "traffic engineering." Shortly afterward, in 1954, the San Diego Metropolitan Area Transportation Study was initiated, and the City of San Diego created a Transportation Research Office within its organization. Subsequently the City and the County created the Advance Transportation Planning Team composed of staff from the Departments of City Planning, City Traffic Engineering, City Highway Design, County Planning, and County Highway Design.
