... . This effort produced an interactive Decision Guide to help practitioners through balanced, inclusive, and collaborative decision-making processes within the four initial phases of transportation planning: long-range transportation planning, corridor planning, programming, and environmental review and permitting.

... These outcomes can be linked to the transportation planning and project development processes captured in the Decision Guide, including long-range transportation plans, corridor planning, project programming, environmental review, or permitting processes. For example, vision statements may help shape the goals of a long-range transportation plan; maps of desired future conservation areas may provide input into the range of solutions considered in corridor planning; or decision-making principles for future transportation systems may provide direct input into developing consensus on a draft transportation improvement plan.

... • How will we get there? These themes form the basis of the Vision Guide, which presents a structured, simplified blueprint to enable practitioners to engage in visioning in support of transportation planning.

... Reaching Stakeholders The reaching stakeholders component provides guidance to practitioners for selecting involvement tools and techniques to use in a visioning process. This research will assist practitioners in reviewing emerging best practices and in selecting appropriate outreach tools to develop a vision, reach nontraditional stakeholders, and leverage new technologies and resources.

... The Vision Guide provides a model commitment tracking process that is integrated within the phases and activity areas. Visioning in Support of the Collaborative Decision-Making Framework Visioning processes provide a framework for the identification, analysis, integration, and implementation of community concerns, the needs of a transportation system, or the alternatives of a highway capacity project.

... The TCAPP Decision Guide identifies key decisions in four phases of transportation decision making: long-range transportation planning, corridor planning, programming, and environmental review and permitting. This structure of key decisions common to all transportation agencies contains data to support an understanding of collaboration: why it is necessary, what is needed to support it, and how to make the changes necessary for a truly collaborative process.
