Considers legislation to provide for coordinated Federal-state-local cooperation in long-range urban development and public projects construction.
In August 2006, approximately 125 people assembled in Washington, D.C., to participate in a conference, The Metropolitan Planning Organization, Present and Future. The conference brought together individuals involved in regional governance from national, state, regional, and local agencies and from the public, private, and academic sectors. The conference goals were to explore (a) the organizational structure of metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), including their operating and personnel relationships with other governmental institutions; (b) the current state of the practice for regional decision making among MPOs of various sizes; (c) approaches to integrating a wide array of additional considerations into the MPO planning process, including freight, operations, safety, asset management, and environment; (d) approaches to institutionalizing an integrated approach to comprehensive planning, beyond developing transportation plans; and (e) development of relationships with local decisionmaking bodies within the MPO region that are responsible for carrying out the MPO-developed vision for the region. To plan the conference, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) assembled a committee appointed by the National Research Council to organize and develop the conference program.

Considers legislation to provide for coordinated Federal-state-local cooperation in long-range urban development and public projects construction.
TRB Special Report 288, Metropolitan Travel Forecasting: Current Practice and Future Direction, examines metropolitan travel forecasting models that provide public officials with information to inform decisions on major transportation system investments and policies. The report explores what improvements may be needed to the models and how federal, state, and local agencies can achieve them. According to the committee that produced the report, travel forecasting models in current use are not adequate for many of today's necessary planning and regulatory uses.
