Abstract:

As part of a project funded by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to examine methods of improving transportation planning techniques, the need to decrease the burden on the planning staff in smaller urban areas (populations less than 200,000) was addressed. In many cases, these smaller areas may not have the financial or personnel resources to determine growth using the traditional models or methods. An existing technique (the Delphi process) was modified to establish a procedure for allocating projected growth at the zone level. A qualitative measure of each zone's growth potential relative to the other zones in the area was established and used to allocate the projections of population and employment. The Delphi process can provide good results in a short time frame which provides the benefit of accelerating the overall planning process. The Delphi process is based on an iterative process. A panel of local experts and involved citizens participated in the process to reach a consensus.
