The paper begins with a discussion of the various objectives that urban transport plans are supposed to serve. It examines recent trends in demand for various modes of urban transport drawing attention to the differences between needs of the older major urban places, the large rapidly growing centers and smaller urban places. The financial and organizational problems that constitute the 'urban transportation crisis' are discussed in detail. Policy alternatives are examined in three categories: the social welfare objectives served by mechanisms for improving movement of people and goods; recapitalization of delapidated but essential public transport in large older cities, and creation of new facilities in rapidly growing cities of medium to large size. Various new organizational mechanisms for improving coordinated transport planning and decision-making at local, state and regional levels are described.
