TRB Conference Proceedings 43: Key Issues in Transportation Programming summarizes plenary and breakout sessions of a November 2006 conference that explored the current state of the practice and long-term implementation experience associated with the programming process, successful practices in linking planning and programming, and the linking of programming processes to the development of performance measures and asset management systems. The conference also examined programming and politics, data requirements and data manageability, and effective approaches to public involvement for programming.

New addition to Resources:
As State DOTs continue to grapple with budget shortfalls and address competing demands such as maintenance and preservation of the system versus capacity expansion, more effort is being directed towards the creation of programmatic investment strategies. In terms of level of detail, these strategies are somewhere between a policy plan and a list of projects. A number of states now employ a long term programmatic investment strategies as a tool to both guide STIP decisions, and create a greater link between Department goals and policies, and future project selection.
This research identifies various methods by which various DOTs have developed and implemented programmatic investment strategies, i.e., prioritizing needs, allocating resources by type of asset, and making subsequent decisions on investment levels by infrastructure area. Further research is required to examine if a standard set of best practices exists, and to ascertain how such strategies have been implemented, both at the planning and programming level. and through the project development and operational processes within each respective DOT.
