Late in 1964 a study of transportation in the Abilene urban area was begun with respect to existing facilities, existing deficiencies, and future needs. This study was initiated as a result of the passage by Congress of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which provided for a 'continuing, comprehensive transportation planning process carried on cooperatively by States and local communities' for each urban area of more than fifty thousand population. Completion of the initial phase of study covering ten (10) basic study elements resulted in the publication of a two volume report: Abilene Urban Transportation Plan. Volume 1. 1965 Origin-Destination Survey, published in 1966; and Abilene Urban Transoortation Plan, Volume 2. 1965-1985 Transportation Plan, published in 1968. In order to provide for the continuing phase of the comprehensive, cooperative planning process for the purpose of keeping Abilene's transportation plan up to date, an agreement between the City of Abilene and the State of Texas was executed on January 23, 1969, and superseded by a revised agreement, including Taylor County as a party, executed March 30, 1973. This revised agreement provided the guidelines for the organization and functioning of the continuing phase of the Abilene Urban Transportation Study. / |
