Suburban transit planning and forecasting. Paper presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board, Washington, January 1974.

Problems and policy issues of particular concern to suburban transportation planners are identified, including dispersed trip-making, high income and automobile ownership, low densities, significant transit-dependent population, increasing peak-hour freeway congestion, growth policy issues, and short-term availability of less expensive or non-union labour. Experiences from county and suburbs are discussed.
