TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Metropolitan transportation planning in the 1990s: comparisons and contrasts in New Zealand, Chile and California JO - Transport policy A1 - Lee, R.W A1 - Rivasplata, C.R SP - 47 EP - 61 VL - 8 IS - 1 N2 - This article reviews major events and trends in metropolitan transportation planning and policy during the 1990s in three divergent Pacific rim jurisdictions: New Zealand, Chile, and California. Major metropolitan areas in each country have seen rising motorization, increasing congestion, and privatization of transportation services. Devolution of transportation planning responsibility has occurred; to a lesser degree, funding responsibility has been devolved from central to regional/local government. New Zealand pushed privatization harder in the 1990s than either Chile or California. While no dominant model of transportation planning has emerged, metropolitan-level planning has become more prominent and autonomous in each country studied.
