Abstract
Federal requirements upon the states have expanded to require land use and transportation planning as adjunct to air quality plans and, in general, call for stronger roles for the states in environmental control. This paper analyzes available data to estimate (1) the possible effectiveness of increased requirements on state performance, (2) the nature of linkages between land use and transportation planning and environmental programming in practice, and (3) some of the structural problems in state planning behavior that must be dealt with if national policy is to meaningfully relate to all of the states. Reasons for some of the discouraging conclusions are explored.
