EQUITY
review matters that can be completed within three years and involve high costs.
SHORT TERM (ACTION PLAN)
his type of planning is more structured and complicated and it must be designed better - than short-term planning
LONG TERM
Characteristics of Transportation Planning
-determine the transportation needs
-make/built transportation formulas.
-study the profitability
-traffic/travel pattern is clear, stable, and can be control
-Relationship between the various modes of transport.
-The transportation system can influence the development of that area and be ready to serve it.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
- SITUATION DEFINITION
- PROBLEM SITUATION
- SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS
- ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE
- EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
- CHOICE OF PROJECT
- SPECIFICATION AND CONSTRUCTION
This is the initial phase where planners identify the current state of transportation systems, including existing infrastructure, traffic patterns, and mobility challenges.
SITUATION DEFINITION
After defining the situation, planners identify specific transportation problems or issues that need to be addressed.
PROBLEM SITUATION
In this phase, transportation planners brainstorm and explore potential solutions to address the identified problems.
SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS
Once potential solutions are identified, planners analyze how each option would perform in terms of meeting transportation goals and addressing the identified problems.
ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE
Planners evaluate the pros and cons of each alternative solution.
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
Based on the evaluations, a decision is made to select the most suitable transportation project or solution.
CHOICE OF PROJECT
After selecting the transportation project, planners move into the detailed design and specification phase.
SPECIFICATION AND CONSTRUCTION
Transportation Planning Element
PLANNING PROCESS, MONITORING AND REVIEW, IMPLEMENTATION
research and analysis that shows the current demand and the relationship of movement with the environmental demands.
STUDIED/RESEARCH STAGE
formulating the plan, predicting future travel demand, and recommending fulfilling traffic demand.
FORECAST STAGE
to assess whether the proposals made satisfactory demand and provide maximum benefit to the community
EVALUATION STAGE
improve the social aspects as can be done safely and comfortably
SOCIAL ASPECTS
with the existence of a variety of travel patterns, activities such as employment, population, and household income will increase.
ECONOMIC ASPECTS
create an efficient transportation system because there are various modes of transportation
PHYSICAL ASPECTS
widening access, traffic lights, sidewalks, traffic lights, parking (cars, motorcycles, bicycles).
CAPACITY
priority to bus routes, trucks, space is limited (pedestrian), parking
PRIORITY
access control, incentives to use public transport, car sharing, land-use policy.
