A Guidebook for Including Access Management in Transportation Planning

This report will be of interest to planning practitioners and access management proponents involved with transportation planning at the state, regional, and local levels. The guidebook is an easy-to-use reference for incorporating access management into the transportation planning process. Recognizing the differences among states and communities regarding access management, the guidebook provides guidance for implementing access management through the transportation planning process rather than prescribing a particular approach. The guidance is organized by type of plan (i.e., overall planning process, long-range plans, programming, and corridor and subarea planning) and jurisdictional level (i.e., state, metropolitan planning organization, and local). The guidebook includes a glossary that defines technical terms and industry acronyms.
