*Planning Factors Mandated by SAFETEA-LU

From FHWA – August 2005

With the passage of TEA-21 in 1998, the 15 metropolitan and 23 statewide planning factors from the old regulations were consolidated into seven factors. With the recent passage of SAFETEA-LU, the factors were expanded to eight, namely safety and security were separated into separate planning factors. In addition, the planning factor on protect/enhance the environment was expanded to include "..promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns". With the passage of SAFETEA-LU, the eight planning factors (for both metro and statewide planning) are:

1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency;
2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users;
3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users;
4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight;
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns;
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight;
7. Promote efficient system management and operation, and;
8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.
