Abstract

This commentary describes alternative legislative approaches to transportation elements of local comprehensive plans. It begins with a brief discussion of how local transportation elements have evolved in practice, then identifies issues and alternatives for drafting requirements for local transportation plan contents and offers prescriptions. Several critical decisions, issues, and alternatives are highlighted to guide state policy makers in determining the contents of transportation elements of local plans. A list of potential specific components of a transportation element in a state law or a local plan appears at the end of this paper. This detailed listing is based on existing state planning laws, state planning practice, content analysis of selected local plans, and the author's experience.
