The first decade of the 21st Century is expected to bring continued growth and accelerated social and economic change. Travel by private vehicle continues to grow faster than the population. Sprawling, low-density development persists as the dominant form of metropolitan growth. The combined effects of population growth, vehicle travel, and suburban expansion could erode gains from dramatic improvements in vehicle emissions. To cope with these trends, policymakers, planners and other practitioners must consider how our system of transportation finance affects travel behavior, patterns of development and environmental quality, especially in an era of diminishing public resources. How we pay for the future development, operation, and maintenance of the transportation system, and how this system of finance, in turn, affects travel choices, land use development, and air quality are the principal questions to be addressed at the 1998 Lake Arrowhead Transportation/Land Use/Air Quality Symposium. In addition, the symposium explores both the equity and political feasibility of various funding options to address transportation needs in the future.
