"The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) has coordinated with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to document procedures for developing the Nebraska Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The three parties will review this document for consistency with laws, regulations and best practices at least biannually but more frequently . . . . The STIP is a four-year listing of projects for which Federal-aid funding under Title 23 (Federal Highway Funding) and Title 49 (Federal Transit Assistance) of the United States Code is proposed. The STIP is a programming tool that is approved on a yearly basis. All projects included in the STIP are consistent with the Nebraska Long Range Transportation Plan and the Nebraska Highway Needs Study" (page 1).

This policy research project was funded by and conducted for the Texas Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. The research was performed during the 1997-98 academic year by 18 graduate students and a faculty project director at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin. Its purpose was to examine "best practices" in governmental multimodal/intermodal transport policies, plans, and programs. This task was accomplished by investigating supranational, national, state, and local government multimodal/intermodal activities in North America, Western Europe, and Latin America.
