Integrating Regional Multimodal and Public Transportation Planning (0-5542-S)

This project summary report summarizes the research performed in Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 0-5542. TxDOT sponsored this project to support the Regional Planning and Public Transportation Study Group and regional efforts to develop transportation coordination plans. Specific activities of the project were to develop a website and information clearinghouse, facilitate regional coordination and coordination plan development, and provide technical and information resources. Researchers discovered that coordinated efforts to establish regional transportation plans enabled all 24 Texas transportation regions to complete plans and enhance public transportation service coordination in their regions. The Regional Service Planning (RSP) website provides effective support to the regions and assists them in coordinating regional public transportation service across metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas.
