ISTEA Five Years Later: Where Do We Go from Here?

Margaret A. Marshall

Abstract

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), which became law in December 1991, represents a dramatic new approach to transportation planning in America. ISTEA changed the federal rules governing state and metropolitan transportation planning. The former top-down transportation planning approach was based largely on federal mandates that influenced the pace and location of new state highway construction. Passage of ISTEA decentralized this approach, strengthening local and regional authority in transportation planning and decision making.
