State development policies and planning. Paper presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1972.

It is stated the state development policies and planning, including transportation, need to reflect a common base of population, economic, and resources information and analysis; state government needs to be encouraged to move more in the direction of a goals definition that is part of a systematic consideration of overall objectives, targets, needs, implementing programs and projects, and periodic recycling of these judgments.
