Group 6 Transportation Policy Planning

Transportation policy planning deals with developing constructs and proposals to achieve objectives relating to social, economic, and environmental conditions for the transportation system. It aims to make effective decisions on allocating transportation resources and regulating activities while implementing plans. Transportation policy can be a public or private endeavor. Relevant trends include globalization, deregulation, privatization, and broader policy coordination. Planning time horizons include strategic, tactical, and operational. Cost-benefit analysis evaluates policy options. Approaches include top-down, bottom-up, and hybrid. Issues addressed are national security, public safety, environment, and foreign ownership. Data use requires caution due to inaccuracy, assumptions, and manipulation. Transportation policy analysis draws on various disciplines.

Planning

GROUP 6

Bautista, Cortero, Mangana, Matullano,

Definition of Transportation Policy Planning

Deals with the planning of developing a set of constructs and


propositions that are established to achieve specific
objectives relating to social, economic, and environmental
conditions, and the functioning and performance of the
transport system, along with the implementation of actions
designed to address specific problems.
Objective of Transportation Policy Planning

To make effective decisions concerning the allocation


of transport resources, including the management and
regulation of existing transportation activities, while
transport planning concerns their effective
implementation. Thus, transport policy can be
concomitantly a public and private endeavor.
Relevance of Transportation Policy Planning

In recent years, four trends had significant consequences over the


context in which the transport policy takes place:

1. Globalization - improved international exchanges for both freight and people.


2. Deregulation and privatization - enabled the transfer of ownership and
operation of transport in the private sector.
3. A broader focus of policies - enabled better coordination improving the
efficiency of transportation networks.
Planning Time Horizon

Strategic planning
- A high-level long-term planning horizon
- Relies on strategic plans implementing a vision.
Planning Time Horizon

Tactical planning
- Involves both financial and strategic planning, often
reported through business plans.
- Budgeting for the allocation of resources to specific
activities and projects is part of the financial planning
process.
Planning Time Horizon

Operational planning
- Involves decisions solving practical problems
related to transport operations, usually within a
year.
Planning Time Horizon

Cost-Benefit Analysis
- Evaluating the costs and benefits associated with different
policy options.
- Includes considering direct financial costs, environmental
impacts, social equity considerations, and potential economic
benefits resulting from improved transportation efficiency.
Approaches of Transportation Policy Planning

Top-down Planning
- An authority sets the strategic goals and prepares a plan.
Bottom-up Planning
- Stakeholders such as carriers and operators are the main
drivers of the planning process by providing actionable
input. these inputs to create a strategic plan with limited
oversight.
Approaches of Transportation Policy Planning

Hybrid Planning
– An authority sets the strategic intent of the planning
process and asks stakeholders to propose projects supporting
the main goals.
Approaches of Transportation Policy Planning
Issues and Interventions related to Transportation
Policy Planning

1. National security
2. Public safety and the environment
3. Control over the inherent monopolistic tendency
4. Intervention includes the desire to limit foreign
ownership
Reasons for Caution in using Data for
Transportation Policy Planning

- Only as good as the data they manipulate, and many


times the data is inaccurate or incomplete. The
requirement for data has led to complex and costly
collection processes, often delaying decisions.
Reasons for Caution in using Data for
Transportation Policy Planning

- Based on assumptions that the mathematical


relationships between variables remain constant.
Socioeconomic and technological changes often change
assumptions.
Reasons for Caution in using Data for
Transportation Policy Planning

- Can be manipulated to produce the outcome that would


be the most preferred by the actors promoting policy or a
project. For instance, only specific scenarios can be
considered, and negative conditions are not allowed to
be data points.
Reasons for Caution in using Data for
Transportation Policy Planning

- Validity is largely questioned (predictions were rarely


subjected to subsequent evaluation)
- Models will attempt to predict the future since
projections rarely question the validity of the
methodology, even when they turned out to be highly
inaccurate.
Instruments used and related to Transportation
Policy Planning
Conclusion: Transportation Policy Planning

Transportation policy analysis is an interdisciplinary field


that draws on various disciplines such as transportation
planning, economics, engineering, environmental science,
and public policy.
