Reworking Suburbia
By Daniel K. Hardy, P.E., PTP and Edward Papazian, P.E.
With the opening of the mass transit system in the Washington, DC,
metropolitan area in the 1970s and 1980s, the area underwent master
planning in order to spur development. The time has now arrived for
jurisdictions to study the next generation of redevelopment. |

Network Planning: Developing a Multimodal Approach
By Joe Fernandez, P.E., AICP and Larry Marcus
The trend toward smart-growth planning, issues related to climate
change and the shortage of transportation funding are changing
land use and transportation planning. Communities are moving
toward more compact developments that reduce the demand for
automobile travel and reduce infrastructure costs. This article
focuses on network planning approaches that support the shift
toward these types of development. |

Creating a Network of Express Lanes in Metropolitan Areas
By Patrick DeCorla-Souza, AICP and Dr. John Halkias
This paper presents a concept that combines congestion pricing
with active traffic management and dynamic shoulder travel lanes
(i.e., hard shoulder running) to create “flexible, efficient, express”
or FEE lanes that could be implemented in a short period of time
using existing freeway rights-of-way. |

Performance-Based Planning: A Practitioner’s View of
Transportation Planning in the 21st Century
By Steven B. Gayle, PTP
Transportation planning in the 20th century was driven primarily
by the construction of new roadway and transit facilities. The
discipline has evolved to include a signifi cant focus on the performance
of multimodal transportation systems in terms of moving
people and goods from origin to destination. Accompanying this
shift are policy driven demands that transportation agencies demonstrate
the result of investment decisions on system performance. |
