Transportation planning Transportation planning, or transport planning, has historically followed the rational planning model of defining goals and objectives, identifying problems, generating alternatives, evaluating alternatives, and developing plans.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Conventional (also called traditional or business as usual) transportation planning refers to current practices for making transport policy, investment and design decisions. Multi-modal planning refers to planning that considers various modes (walking, cycling, automobile, public transit, etc.) and connections among modes.

Types of transportation planning Traffic impact studies evaluate traffic impacts and mitigation strategies for a particular development or project. Local transport planning develops municipal and neighborhood transport plans. Regional transportation planning develops plans for a metropolitan region. State, provincial and national transportation planning develops plans for a large jurisdiction, to be implemented by a transportation agency. Strategic transportation plans develop long-range plans, typically 20-40 years into the future. Transportation improvement plans (TIPs) or action plans identify specific projects and programs to be implemented within a few years. Corridor transportation plans identify projects and programs to be implemented on a specific corridor, such as along a particular highway, bridge or route. Performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) refers to the application of performance management principles within the planning and programming processes of transportation agencies to achieve desired performance outcomes for the multimodal transportation system.
