Book Description
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued joint planning regulations in response to the requirements set forth in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The joint planning regulations include provisions for major investment studies (MISs) where there are high-cost and high-impact transportation alternatives being considered. MIS regulations have now been in effect for more than two years. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) was asked to convene a conference of State and local planning practitioners involved in MIS activities. The conference focused on the following four topic areas: (1) policy issues; (2) the relation of MISs to the overall planning and project development process; (3) management and institutional issues affecting MISs; and (4) the transportation decision process for the MIS. This Circular contains the conference proceedings.

Book Description
Federal regulations and guidance define major investment studies (MIS) as a flexible framework that can be tailored to provide the information needed to make local decisions about transportation investments. It is intended to enhance the planning process by requiring consideration of a broad array of alternatives and higher levels of public participation early in the process. The consideration of mobility and accessibility improvements, and operating efficiencies in the development and evaluation of alternatives is encouraged, but no particular approach or level of detail is required concerning traffic demand analysis. This project examines 13 completed MISs to identify the state-of-the-practice of traffic demand analysis employed in Texas and around the country. An examination of the methods identified was compiled in a range of analysis alternatives from planning-level down to microscopic analysis of freeway flow. Guidelines are included to help agencies conduct an MIS that adequately addresses traffic demand.
