What is a transportation plan?

A transportation plan is a comprehensive and long-term document that outlines the goals, strategies, and priorities for a transportation system in a specific geographical area. It typically includes analysis of current and projected transportation demand, existing infrastructure, and potential solutions for meeting transportation needs. The plan may cover various modes of transportation, such as roads, public transit, bicycles, and pedestrians, and can take into account different aspects of transportation, including safety, environmental sustainability, and accessibility. The goal of a transportation plan is to create a roadmap for developing and improving transportation infrastructure and services to meet the needs of a community over a specified time period.
