"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 546 examines where and how safety can be effectively addressed and integrated into long-range transportation planning at the state and metropolitan levels. The report includes guidance for practitioners in identifying and evaluating alternative ways to incorporate and integrate safety considerations in long-range statewide and metropolitan transportation planning and decision-making processes"--Publisher's description.

Typically, Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTPs) can be rather lengthy documents to read and in many instances can be somewhat less-than user-friendly. Therefore, this effort was undertaken as a means to conduct a national scan of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to identify "best practices" examples of citizen-friendly LRTPs that may be beneficial to MPOs within Florida.
