But if highway and transit projects are to be compared, as will be necessary under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, common measures of effectiveness applicable across modes must be used. Another problem that will arise in such a comparison involves accounting for costs.

New Federal rules for metropolitan transportation planning became effective in late 1993. Included in the new rules were requirements for "major metropolitan transportation investments." Major transportation investments are defined as "A high-type highway or transit improvement of substantial cost that is expected to have a significant effect on capacity, traffic flow, level of Rice.

The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOS) respond in the metropolitan planning process to the concerns of lowincome, inner-city communities and to identify cases where the needs of economically disadvantaged, inner~ty residents are explicitly linked to that process in ways that lead to effective and substantial action.
