Linking Community Visioning and Highway Capacity Planning

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that investigates community visioning as a method transportation agencies can use to integrate goals into the transportation planning process. Community visioning develops planning and policy exercises that engage community stakeholders in building long-term, consensus frameworks for future decision making. SHRP 2 Report S2-C08-RR-1: Linking Community Visioning and Highway Capacity Planning explores community visioning efforts, identifies steps and activities that might be considered when engaging in visioning, and highlights the links between outcomes and the transportation planning and project development processes.
