WORKSHOP ON LONG-RANGE AND STRATEGIC FORECASTING TECHNIQUES. WORKSHOP SUMMARY

This workshop was to identify travel-forecasting methods that could be applied to reach long-term planning solutions and to discuss the relation between strategic and facility-planning methods. Methods discussed were summarized and matched against a summary of the almost 30 issues from the context workshops. The methods discussed in this workshop were related to the other workshops in this framework: (1) Strategic planning should identify preferable transportation strategies or policies as an input to plan development; (2) Long-range planning should identify corridors or subareas that are deficient, identify priorities and outline a range of feasible improvements; (3) Long range regional land use and transportation planning provide a basis for subsequent use of windowing or focusing; (4) Planning should provide base-year data models; (5) Long range data base should provide immediately usable information; (6) Programming implementation depends on a project-level assessment of impacts.
