Achieving positive community participation in the freeway planning process. Paper presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1972..

Ways of achieving community participation in highway planning are discussed. Some of the suggested steps are a) work with the community to establish the need for the transportation facility; b) recognize ''objective-oriented'' and '' impact- oriented'' community participation; c) recognize that the community is a composite of many interest groups; d) evaluate cost and benefits; e) close cost benefit gaps for each interest group.
