DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn December 18, 1991, a landmark transportation bill, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) became law. ISTEA's policies and programs set the country on a new track to tackle the mobility, economic and environmental challenges of the 1990s and 21st century. This guide has been written to provide state and local organizations and citizen activists with information on the funding available under ISTEA for urban mass transit and intercity rail projects and the new requirements for planning and public participation. The guide closes with 'Ten Suggestions for Successful Public Participation" that have been gleaned from conversations with citizen organizations and activists while putting this guide together. These suggestions highlight strategies and actions that should maximize the success and effectiveness of citizens in their involvement in transportation and decisionmaking.
