RRD 174 Transportation Action: A Local Input Model to Engage Community Transportation Planning

Borich, T.O. and J. Ayres. 1996. Transportation Action: A Local Input Model to Engage Community Transportation Planning. (RRD 174). Ames, IA: North Central Regional Center for Rural Development.

In this curriculum, The Transportation Action Model seeks to marry technical information with a decision making process that assists rural communities in transportation planning. The process includes creating public dialogue, identifying transportation issues, and developing solutions. Successful completion of the program should provide a blueprint for local action.

The model consists of 10 steps through which a community might learn more about transportation and take a more proactive role in planning its transportation future. Included in the 10 steps are four meetings. A suggested agenda is provided, along with preparation material for the facilitator, camera-ready copy of exercises for community participants, and masters for overhead transparencies.
