Current state of the art in statewide transportation planning. Paper presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1972.

The position of statewide transportation planning in 1972 has advanced to about the position of urban transportation planning in 1955 in the U.S.A. To improve this situation there is the advantage of knowing a great deal more about the planning process, goals, simulation, data collection, and evaluation.
