Transport planning, is involved with the evaluation, assessment, design and siting of transport facilities (generally streets, highways, bike lanes and public transport lines).
Transport planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining goals and objectives, identifying problems, generating alternatives, evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Other models for planning include rational actor, transit oriented development, satisficing, incremental planning, organisational process, and political bargaining.
Transport Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, especially due to the rising importance of environmentalism. For example, the use of behavioural psychology to persuade drivers to abandon their automobiles and use public transport instead. The role of the transport planner is shifting from technical analysis to promoting sustainability through integrated transport policies.
David Wilkins from i3 has extensive experience with providing transport planning advice for major developments (e.g. shopping centres, hospitals and park'n'ride facilities) as well as Masterplans in accordance with the latest 'environmental' and 'green' objectives.
Transport Planning client testimonial:
“David has a fine grasp of what lay people and community stakeholders need to make informed decisions or provide meaningful input during consultations. He makes complex ideas accessible and creatively uses highly graphic techniques - including micro-simulation - to communicate challenges and appropriate solutions."
