The volume delineates the objectives, road system, regional highway network, public transportation and financing of the Chicago-wide transportation plan. The volume focuses on the preparation, testing and evaluation of the plan, including the establishment of objectives and an attempt to resolve those in conflict. The primary objective was to develop the least expensive transit system possible. An attempt was made to combine operating and construction costs with traffic loads, and to find the most efficient street designs. Five different expressway plans were developed and tested by computer.
