Abstract An advance in the state-of-the-art of municipal transportatin planning is described. A planningprocess that fully considers community value and land use was designed by and for the City of Cambridge with the expectation that such a precess could also be used in simular cities. Volume I of the report describes the existing planning process participants. The concept of a transportation form is then advanced and the establishement, authority and operation of the forum are described. Volume II, the nature of the City of Cabmridge is described as background to a discussion of current transportation problems, goals, and derived policies. A transportation sketch plan for the City is developed which integrates transportation goals with those of land use and social planning. Initial actions to improve the organizational framework for transportation planning are outlined. Specific technical studies needed to support the planning process are then described. Volume III, is a distillation of the material in Volumes I and II into a set of recommendations for small cities.
