This digest presents the results of NCHRP Project 20-65, Task 26, "An analysis and evaluation of states' implementation of the FTA 5310, 5316, and 5317 grant programs." Since 2007, these Federal Transit Administration human services grant programs have required the establishment of locally developed, coordinated public transit/human services transportation plans. NCHRP Project 20-65, Task 27, focused on two objectives: 1) to determine the level of effort and costs associated with the development of coordinated public transit-human services transportation plans; and 2) to determine the perceived success of the coordination plans and the perceived success that states and other grantees are having in awarding funds and meeting the coordination plan objectives.

This report provides an overview of the tribal transit planning process and detailed guidance about the various steps for planning and implementing a tribal transit system. The steps that are described may be used for planning a new transit system, enhancing an existing service, or taking action to sustain services. While the guidebook is primarily aimed at tribal transit planners, it will also be of interest to tribal transportation planners and liaisons at all levels of government. In the research effort, data were collected from 67 tribes during Phase 1 and more detailed information was collected from 48 tribes during Phase 2. Fifteen tribes were visited for the development of case studies. Data were collected regarding the type of transit services, the size and scope of the transit programs, and funding approaches.

Two conferences on Refocusing Transportation Planning for the 21st Century were held in 1999 following passage of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The first conference focused on the identification of key trends, issues, and general areas of research. The results of Conference I, which produced stand-alone products, were used as input for Conference II. The second conference had the specific objective of producing research problem statements. Its mission was to review the results of the first conference by developing these statements. Conference II produced a number of detailed research statements that form the basis for the National Agenda for Transportation Planning Research. The proceedings of both conferences are presented in this report.
