I.A SCOPE OF GUIDEBOOK: TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND DECISION- MAKING Broadly defined, transportation planning needs to involve all the components of the transportation system – facility and infrastructure expansion, operational planning, public/private participation, communications systems, day-to-day operations, maintenance, and system management decisions and their impacts. It no longer can focus on capital and infrastructure projects only, but also should address operating strategies and how they change the performance relationships of the transportation system itself.

behavior, which then changes what infrastructure and other systems that may be needed in the future. Consequently, planning and programming can no longer focus primarily on the long-range system and how it performs, assuming today's operating characteristics and relationships.

I.C ITS BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN OPERATIONS AND PLANNING In integrating ITS into planning the conceptual and historic differences in operations and planning must also be overcome. Operating and maintaining the transportation system, and planning to meet future infrastructure and service needs have been carried out in their own worlds with different perspectives, measures, staff, policy makers, support organizations, funding support, and time horizons: • Operations: Decisions for operating and maintaining the system have traditionally focused on short-term day-to-day issues on how to operate and manage the existing transportation network as efficiently as possible.
