Corridor planning can focus on many different characteristics of corridor system performance. For example, corridor planning can address high‐crash locations, increasing levels of congestion, restricted freight movements, changing land‐use patterns, and the individual or cumulative effects of each on the current or future corridor transportation system. Corridor studies provide many advantages in assessing transportation needs and identifying strategies for improvement. This chapter examines the different characteristics of corridor planning, the reasons why corridor plans are conducted, and the steps typically followed. It covers: the rationale for conducting corridor planning; and types of corridor studies that occur in practice, usually defined by geographic scale (for example, local, regional, state, and multistate). It presents the relationship between transportation corridor investments and land use/urban design; major components of a corridor study, with examples provided from recent studies; and types of recommendations that typically result from corridor studies.
