The objectives of this research were to identify state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) that have already designed coordinated planning processes to meet the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) requirements, and generate information about key aspects of those processes that will be useful to other state DOTs and their planning partners as they develop or revise their own planning processes. Tasks included a review of FTA's requirements for development of a coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan as the foundation for projects funded through the Section 5310, 5316, and 5317 grant programs; a survey of state DOTs, planning organizations, and transit agencies to learn about current efforts to prepare local coordination plans; and the preparation of mini-case studies to highlight different approaches and best practices. This Guidebook presents a summary of how the coordinated planning requirements have been implemented in a number of states and describes the efforts of the case study states in more detail. Approaches and practices that have been used successfully are presented for the consideration of other state DOTs. |
