摘要：	Since the costs of proposed transportation projects typically exceed available funding, the process by which projects are selected and prioritized for development is scrutinized by a wide variety of stakeholders. The U.S. Congress and state legislatures are increasingly involved in selecting projects, and thus some projects do not evolve from the transportation planning process. Oversight panels, special interest groups, and the public are applying pressure to clarify the process by which proposed projects are prioritized and to minimize the impact of politics. A rational tool that lays out a clear procedure can assist decision makers in selecting and prioritizing potential improvements, make the process more transparent, and strengthen the link between planning and programming. Several such tools have been proposed, and many state and local transportation agencies are using some of them. These instruments vary widely in objectivity, the factors considered in evaluating potential transportation improvements, and output formats. The role they play in programming decisions also varies, but their use makes available more information to interested parties, including those vested with the authority to make decisions about transportation programming.
