This is a basic reference for practicing transportation professionals involved with the administrative, technical and legal aspects of transportation planning. It is a must for those professionals in the governmental, consulting and educational fields whose work is the planning of the transportation infrastructure. This up-to-date edition includes the latest techniques and describes current programs, such as TEA-21, used by internationally successful transportation professionals. Written by 26 authors, each an expert in his or her field, and reviewed and edited by leading professionals in transportation, the handbook describes the current practice in such diverse areas of transportation planning as Transportation and Society; Commodity Flows and Freight Transportation; Urban Travel Characteristics; Transportation Planning Studies; Transportation Models; Planning Approach to Capacity; Environmental and Energy Considerations; Financial and Economic Considerations; Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning; Intercity Passenger Travel; Urban Transportation Studies; Urban Transit; Parking; Activity Centers; Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities; Traffic Calming; Transportation Terminals; Transportation Operations and Management; and Regulatory and Legal Issues.

This book is ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses in urban transportation planning. It discusses transportation planning in the decision-making context, as well as a vast range of issues of which transportation engineering and planning students should be aware. The technical material is combined with effective figures and tables. The incorporation of major legislation (Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act, Clean Air Act amendments of 1990, etc.) and other developments that affect transportation planning (GIS, Traffic Impact Analysis, 1000 Friends of Oregon, etc.) distinguishes this text from others in the area.

Transport in the Urban Environment (CD-ROM version) 
Category: Transportation Planning 

Transport in the Urban Environment (TUE) is a complete rewrite of the technical manual, Roads and Traffic in Urban Areas (better known as RTUA or ׂthe Brown Book' which was published in association with the Department of Transport). RTUA proved to be a particularly useful source of information for practitioners involved in urban planning and development, especially those in the fields of highway and traffic engineering, transportation and town planning. Since there have been radical changes in the way that transport is viewed, TUE gives great emphasis upon ensuring that the potentially damaging effects of transport upon the environment are avoided or, at least, mitigated. One such change is the growing debate over sustainable development and the impacts that transport can have on the urban environment which has continued not only within the United Kingdom but in many other countries. TUE is a ׂreference of first resort,' providing a comprehensive guide to virtually every aspect of transport in urban areas. The volume is divided into six parts and is available in hardback (as ITE pub. no. LP-419) and CD-ROM (as ITE pub. no. LP-420). IHT, 1997 (CD-ROM version)
