The practical part of this course involves working on real-life like projects. The different scopes discussed in the theoretical part are approached through typical tasks that would be performed by a transport specialist working for the relevant stakeholders. Such tasks involve using and mastering a number of basic skills such as data management, working with spatial data, and computer aided design.
Some prior knowledge of these areas is desirable. However, sufficient materials and support will be provided for refreshing/learning the required skills at the beginning of the semester.

In this course the multidisciplinary transportation planning process is tackled at different geographic levels. Concepts and techniques applicable to statewide, metropolitan, corridor, local and even site transportation planning level will be discussed. At the level of travel demand generation, the link with land use and urban design, travel demand modeling, and travel demand management is established. At the travel supply level, transportation planning challenges such as road capacity planning, transit network planning and operations, planning for pedestrian, bicyclist, and parking facilities are investigated.
As transportation planning is embedded in a broader societal context, additional topics that will be highlighted are transportation funding and finance, operations, safety, and public participation and engagement.
