Facts Needed for Wise Planning
C E Fritts · Purdue e-Pubs (Purdue University System) · 1956
There are two major objectives in highway planning. The first is that of providing the people who pay for highways and the legislative bodies who make the laws under which highway systems are built with all the essential facts relating to their highway transportation service so that they may determine what goal of achievement is most desirable and feasible for them. Second, provide the administrative agencies with a blueprint setting forth the program to be administered within the funds provided. W e are concerned with the development of plans which are practi cal, justifiable and feasible. We are not concerned with visionary, schematic approaches. Nor are we concerned with the development of plans which are dictated or controlled by inadequate fiscal support be cause that kind of planning would be penny wise but pound foolish. Cer tainly we can all agree that any plan to be most effective is one that we can all live with.
