Smart Transportation Guidebook
The Smart Transportation Guidebook, published in March 2008, was developed through a partnership between PennDOT and the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The goal of the Guidebook is to integrate the planning and design of our transportation system in a manner that fosters development of sustainable and livable communities. The Guidebook has equal applicability to rural, suburban and urban areas.
This publication is an important first step towards integrating the principles of Smart Transportation into PennDOT's everyday business. It has information that is useful for all of the people involved in building communities, including transportation planners, traffic and design engineers, local governments, and community residents. PennDOT is currently using the Guidebook as our guide for updating our design manuals.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have given the Smart Transportation Guidebook the prestigious Award of Excellence. This Award “recognizes outstanding initiatives across the country to develop, plan, and implement innovative transportation planning practices.” Click here for more information about the FHWA FTA Award of Excellence.
