Small and medium-sized communities face a variety of transportation planning challenges around the country. Differences range from states that own and operate all or nearly all of the highway and street systems, with little local control, to states with growth management, and yet others with sharp divisions of responsibility between state systems and local systems, sometimes with little state help provided for local governments. This paper examines four issues that nearly all small and medium-sized communities share: lack of resources to meet planning requirements, education for staff and stakeholders, communications and information overload, and technology, both inhouse and applications. Specific issues, such as intelligent transportation systems, are also addressed. |
