This Special Report presents the proceedings of a Conference on Transportation Planning for Small and Medium-Sized Communities held December 3-6, 1978, in Sarasota, Florida. The conference was conducted by the Transportation Research Board and cooperatively sponsored by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration and the Federal Highway Administration U.S. Department of Transportation. The conference was to provide for the exchange of experiences among practitioners engaged in transportation planning for cities of fewer than 200,000 people, to provide guidance for transportation policies and programs, to foster the development of future activities in this area and, lastly, to provide a document that will reflect the proceeding of the conference and serve as a basic resource for practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. A major finding of the conference was that there is a need for a less-formalized transportation planning process for the smaller urban areas that includes (a) greater flexibility in organizational and administrative arrangements; (b) improved communication between decision makers, planners, and the general public; and (c) simplification of the administrative planning requirements as well as of the planning procedures.
