The workshop focused on improving statewide transportation planning by evaluating current techniques and recommending enhancements. It highlighted the need for new methods to predict impacts, evaluate trade-offs, and address uncertainties. The existing planning models were found to be too complex and costly, with a lack of effective coordination between planning and programming. The workshop concluded that incremental improvements and better dissemination of information are necessary. Statewide planning and programming must consider environmental, social, and economic impacts, as well as political and institutional constraints.
