Description: "The purpose of SHRP 2 project C08, Community Visioning Approach to Support the SHRP 2 Collaborative Decision-Making Framework for Additions to Highway Capacity, was to help transportation agency practitioners assess the possibilities of community visioning efforts, identify practical steps and activities when engaging in visioning, and establish links between vision outcomes and transportation planning and project development processes. To these ends, this research presents a model - the Vision Guide - or the preparation, creation, and implementation of a visioning process. A companion web tool was also developed. SHRP 2 Report S2-C08-RR-1: Linking Community Visioning and Highway Capacity Planning is available as a PDF and through the TRB bookstore. The appendices, which include case studies and a collection of resources, were published as a separate document, S2-C08-RW-2, and are available only as a PDF. The Vision Guide is connected to the transportation planning and project development processes identified in related SHRP 2 Capacity research and presented in the Decision Guide structure on the website Transportation for Communities - Advancing Projects through Partnership (TCAPP), found at transportationforcommunities.com."--pub. desc.
