The transportation development process may be described as the series of activities related to the planning, construction, and operation of transportation facilities. These include planning, project development, environmental mitigation, right-of-way acquisition, and design, as well as ongoing public involvement as the principal components of the federal transportation development process. The TDP begins with the transportation planning process, which is divided into metropolitan and statewide processes. Each is required to have long-range plans and short-term transportation improvement programs, which are expected to be coordinated. Public involvement is essential to the TDP. For this synthesis, a survey of six major topical areas was sent to all states and 10 MPOs; 27 states and three MPOs responded. |
