Transportation Planning In (and for) the Future: Challenge and Opportunities

Date:
November 19, 1999 - 9:30am to 12:00pm

Speaker: Dr. Michael Meyer, Professor and chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology


We are still awaiting the issuance of federal planning regualtions that will implement the planning provisions of TEA-21. However, preliminary indications suggest that they will continues a decades-long trend toward broadening the linkages between transportation planning and other societal concerns. This presentation will examine the state of transportation planning in the U.S. and suggest likely directions where the planning process is heading. Examples will be given of Atlanta, Georgia where many of the important linkages - transportation and land use, environmental quality, economic development, and environmental justice - are being debated and acted upon.

Dr. Meyer is Professor and chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. With over 1100 students and an annual research program in excess of $9 million, the School is one of the largest civil and environmental engineering programs in the U.S. Dr. Meyer's research and teaching interests include transportation planning, policy, analysis, environmental analysis, and civil engineering systems. Prior to joining Georgia Tech's faculty in 1988, Dr. Meyer was Director of the Bureau of Transportation nPlanning and Development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and from 1978 ti 1983 he was on the faculty at MIT.

Dr. Meyer is active in several professional organizations. He has chaired numerous conferences for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) on transportation planning and policy, and has chaired TRB committees/task forces on public policy, transportation demand management, education and training, statewide multimodal transportation planning, and strategic research directions for domestic freight policy. He has chaired ASCE committees on highway planning, urban transportation planning, urban development. In addition, Dr. Meyer has been involved with efforts to define future directions for national transportation policy.
