Transportation Planning
Process
The transportation planning process almost always
involves the following six steps (in some form or
another):
1. Identification of goals/objectives (anticipatory
planning) or problems (reactive planning)
2. Generation of alternative methods of accomplishing
these objectives or solving these problems
3. Determination of the impacts of the different
alternatives
4. Evaluation of different alternatives
5. Selection of one alternative
6. Implementation

Transportation Engineering
 Transportation engineering is a sub-discipline of civil
engineering which deals with the application of
technology and scientific principles to the planning,
functional design, operation and management of
facilities for any mode of transportation in order to
provide the safe, rapid, comfortable, convenient,
economical, and environmentally compatible
movement of people and goods (transport).
 The planning aspects of transport engineering relate to
urban planning, and involve technical forecasting
decisions and political factors.
 Transportation engineering, as practiced by civil
engineers, primarily involves planning, design,
construction, maintenance, and operation of
transportation facilities
