Abstract
Major features of the traditional transportation systems planning process, official policy directed at attaining desirable goals and objectives through transportation actions, and the resulting impacts that help to define the success of the plans are briefly described in this chapter. Also, the distinction between long-range transportation planning and shorter-range transportation demand management actions and the characteristics of transportation corridors are outlined to establish a perspective on the scale and nature of the projects described in the ensuing chapters in Parts 2 and 3.
