The basic objective of the Fitchburg-Leominster Urban Area Transportation Study was to produce a transportation plan that would be the most effective means of serving the study area's present and future transportation needs, while helping to shape its social and economic development. To accomplish this objective, inventories and analyses were carried out for these basic elements: economic factors affecting development; population; land-use; transportation facilities (including public transportation); travel patterns; terminal and transfer facilities; traffic control features; zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, etc.; financial resources; and social and community value factors, such as preservation of open space, parks and recreational facilities, preservation of historical sites and buildings, environmental amenities, and aesthetics.
