Abstract

The Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (METRO) needed to update its current long-range plan. Based on experience with the current plan, a new approach was adopted to enhance the agency's ability to respond to alternative futures. Alternative future scenarios for 1987 through 2000 were developed with the help of an expert panel representing diverse but appropriate disciplines. The panel focused on three reasonable scenarios and two others that represented the upper and lower bounds for contingency planning. Implementation of public transportation planning is discussed and key regional factors that require monitoring are identified.
