Documentation of Existing Conditions and Need
The product of the existing conditions and needs is a technical memorandum that includes the following:
- Narrative, tables, and maps of all multimodal transportation facilities at levels of detail adequate to represent the existing transportation infrastructure. Where specific modal elements are not applicable, the memo should document what is not relevant to the current transportation planning process and why.
- Narrative, tables, and maps that describe the current deficiencies and gaps within the existing transportation infrastructure.
- Narrative and tables that describe the existing revenue and expenditures used to fund the local transportation system.
The example TSPs all provide different ways of summarizing the existing conditions and needs as outlined in these guidelines.
