| 摘要： | This project represents a focused effort to evaluate the progress that state Departments of Transportation (state DOTs) have made in implementing the intermodal planning initiatives called for in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998. The ISTEA legislation in particular signaled the beginning of a new era in transportation policy and planning through its explicit use of the word 'intermodal' in the title. This usage was intended to 'bring the need for intermodalism to the forefront of the nation's transportation and economic debate' (ISTEA 1991). More specifically, ISTEA introduced several innovations into transportation planning practices including: increasing flexibility for state and local governments to redirect highway funds to accommodate other modes and modal connections; directly linking transportation planning with air quality planning; enhancing the role of metropolitan planning organizations in regional transportation planning; broadening the goals for transportation planning; and increasing the number and variety of stakeholders that should be involved in the transportation planning process. ISTEA also specifically called for state DOT's to adopt an intermodal approach to transportation planning, as reflected by their long-range and short-range plans, their resource allocations, and the characteristics of their planning processes. This report is an effort to identify the degree to which intermodal planning has been implemented at the state level through an in-depth analysis of intermodal planning at three state DOT's in the western US: Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. |
