Procedures and technical methods for transit-project planning
The guidance is specifically designed for State and local agencies that are considering the implementation of fixed guideway transit projects--new rail systems, rail extensions, busways, and the like--with Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA) funds. Familiarity with the guidance is essential for all individuals involved in conducting an alternatives analysis involving new or extended heavy rail, light rail or busway projects for which UMTA funding is being contemplated. The guidance may also be of interest to local and State officials who are anxious to understand the Federal perspective on major investments and the type and amount of work which will be done by their staff and consultants to satisfy UMTA's alternatives analysis requirement. The guidance is divided into three major parts: The Major Capital Investment Planning Process; Conduct of the Technical Analysis; and The Decisionmaking Process. The manual also contains a series of appendices which bring together the most important regulations, policy statements, and other information relevant to project planning.
