The cover is perhaps a little underwhelming, but a recent TransitCenter publication is very interesting. "
All Transportation is Local: A Field Guide for City Leaders" looks like something that could be a basic text for the
City Council Public Transit Committee as well as the new bridgehead congestion Committee:
This handbook outlines practical steps that local
elected officials can take right away to improve their
transportation systems and make their cities better
places to live, work, and visit. This how-to guide has
four sections. “How to Make the Most of Your Time
in Office” and “Alliances That Get Results” deal
with the human dimensions of leadership, and “Make
the Most of Your Infrastructure” and “Rewrite the
Rules to Boost Growth, Not Traffic” deal with the
physical and policy dimensions. No single formula
fits every single jurisdiction, so elements from each
of these sections can be selected as appropriate
to your own circumstances. The important part
is to find the combination of recommendations
that work best for you and your residents.
Cherriots' own consultant also recommends it:
Anyone, not just Electeds, interested in Salem transportation would probably find something of use in it. So if you're looking for some transportation policy reading over the break, you might consider this!
