Integrating Regional Multimodal and Public Transportation Planning

Project Description

Chapter 461 of the Texas State Transportation Code focuses on maximizing the benefits of the state's investment in public transportation through the coordination of services. Accordingly, the Texas Transportation Commission established the Regional Planning and Public Transportation Study Group. The mission of the Study Group is to review current public transportation planning and programming practices within metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas and to enhance service delivery, customer satisfaction, efficiency, and effectiveness. The Texas Transportation Institute provides ongoing support to the Study Group and assists each region to develop a regional transportation plan. The focus of research is to review and assess the state of the practice in coordinated public transportation, to identify and share best practices, and to develop an Internet-based clearinghouse of technical information on relevant public transportation planning processes and strategies.
