The 1985 Regional Transportation Plan of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (Plan Report No. 5) is one of the most detailed and informative reports published to date by a transportation planning agency. The Report reflects several advances in urban transportation planning procedures made by DVRPC. Nevertheless, the Report does contain a number of very serious deficiencies. In an attempt to make a constructive contribution to transportation planning in the Delaware Valley Region, the authors of this Critique analyze these deficiencies and propose general and specific improvements for the Transportation Plan.
