Class 13: Self Check-18

①More than 30 years have passed since the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 created the federal mandate for urban transportation planning in the United States.
　　※Federal-Aid Highway Act：連邦補助道路法

②The act was the capstone of two decades of experimentation and development of urban transportation procedures and institutions.

③ It was passed at a time in which urban areas were beginning to plan National Interstate and Defense Highway System routes through and around their areas.
　　※National Interstate and Defence Highway System：全米州間国防道路網

④The 1962 Act, combined with the incentive of 90 percent federal funding for interstate highway projects, caused urban transportation planning to spread quickly throughout the United States.

⑤It also had a significant influence on urban transportation planning in other parts of the world.

⑥This necessitated eliminating practices whereby unsubsidized private transportation service providers competed on an unequal basis with subsidized public agencies.

⑦The 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.
　　※land-use model：土地利用モデル

⑧The 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.
※comprehensive plan：総合計画/public hearings：公聴会

⑨Urban 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.

⑩With the rationing of gasoline and tires, and no new automobiles being manufactured, the use of transit mushroomed.
