Project Summary

California has ambitious statewide transportation goals, but how well are they reflected in local planning? This project analyzes recent general plan updates in six Orange County cities to see which state objectives are incorporated and which are not. By comparing old and new plans and public feedback, the research identifies barriers to alignment and strategies for stronger coordination.
