Abstract Transportation planning and comprehensive planning have evolved as separate and frequently conflicting fields of professional activity. Current relationships between both types of planning are characterized by increasing frustration and declining effectiveness in the national pursuit of public development policy objectives. At the federal level, ambivalence toward comprehensive planning has hampered the development of planning capacity among state, metropolitan, and local agencies, while unquestioning pursuit of federal-aid highway construction has produced a monolithic transportation planning establishment operating at a single level of government and dominated by a single mode. The results of the current separatism characteristic of comprehensive planning and transportation planning are apparent in a pattern of local injunctions against highway projects, belated analyses of a comprehensive range of environmental and socio-economic factors inherent in highway construction, and widespread public demand for a reassessment of the true costs and benefits of highway systems. Organizational and structural prescriptions are offered to achieve more appropriate relationships between transportation planning and comprehevensive planning institutions in order to achieve the potential benefits of both through integrated action.
