State transportation departments and the long‐range plans they develop will continue to evolve to meet society's changing expectations. This chapter discusses the legislative foundation for statewide transportation planning, with emphasis on the evolution of relevant federal legislation. It presents the major steps in statewide transportation planning with examples provided from state planning efforts. Statewide transportation planning identifies the most cost‐effective and appropriate transportation strategies to achieve a desired level of system performance for a state's transportation system. The chapter focuses on multimodal transportation planning and then discusses efforts on the part of states to undertake modal planning, that is, planning focused on particular modes, for example, state rail plans, bike and pedestrian plans, and aviation plans. Statewide transportation planning, along with the transportation planning that occurs in metropolitan areas will likely play an even greater role in shaping the form and function of society in the future.
