Urban transportation planning came of age with the passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which required that approval of any federal-aid highway project in an urbanized area of 50,000 or more in population be based on a continuing, comprehensive urban transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by states and local governments.

The BPR carried out an extensive program of research, technical assistance, and training to foster the adoption of this process and the new methodologies.

By the legislated deadline of July 1, 1965, all 224 then-existing urbanized areas that fell under the 1962 act had an urban transportation planning process underway.

This report integrated the objectives for highways and mass transit, which were comparatively independent up to that point but growing closer through cooperative activities.

The general thrust of the report to Congress, as it related to planning, can be summarized by the following excerpt from the transmittal letter.

As our communities increasingly undertake deliberate measures to guide their development and renewal, we must be sure that transportation planning and construction are integral parts of general development planning and programming.

One of our main recommendations is that federal aid for urban transportation should be made available only when urban communities have prepared or are actively preparing up-to-date general plans for the entire urban area which relate transportation plans to land-use and development plans.

With the rationing of gasoline and tires, and no new automobiles being manufactured, the use of transit mushroomed.

In most urbanized areas, ad hoc organizational arrangements were created to conduct the urban transportation planning process required by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 and the Bureau of Public Roads' guidelines.

This necessitated eliminating practices whereby unsubsidized private transportation service providers competed on an unequal basis with subsidized public agencies.

The conferees recommended that agencies sponsoring research on land-use models, generally the federal government, expand the capabilities of their inhouse staff to handle these models.

The act also added requirements for public hearings on the economic, social, and environmental impacts of a proposed project and on its consistency with the comprehensive plan for the area.

In addition, the act amended the Section 701 urban planning assistance program established under the Housing Act of 1954 by authorizing grants to be made to "organizations composed of public officials whom he (the secretary of HUD) finds to be representative of the political jurisdictions within a metropolitan area or urban region" for the purposes of comprehensive planning.

A third authorized a project to study and prepare a program of research for developing new systems of urban transportation.

Land-use planning models were developed as an adjunct to transportation planning to provide forecasts of population, employment, and land use for transportation forecasting models.

This study was the basis for numerous research efforts to develop and refine new urban transportation technologies that would improve on existing ones.
