Preface
Urban transportation planning is carried out primarily by state and local agencies. Over the years, much experience has been gained in the planning and evaluation of urban transportation systems. This knowledge can be useful to planners and decision makers in the development and implementation of transportation system changes. In this context, it is important to understand the transportation and planning options which have been tried and how they developed into the approaches we have today. This book describes the evolution of urban transportation planning over the last 70 years. This is the fifth edition of the book which was first published in 1987. The fourth edition discussed urban transportation planning to mid-2012. This edition updates the evolution of urban transportation planning and policy to 2016. It also contains some additions and revisions to the earlier edition. This book is an updated version of “Evolution of Urban Transportation Planning” which was first published in 1979 as Chap. 15 in Public Transportation: Planning, Operations, and Management, edited by George E. Gray and Lester L. Hoel. It was revised and published in 1992 as Chap. 3 in Public Transportation, second edition, edited by George E. Gray a
