REVISION TO ALTERNATIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOR CANADIAN TRANSPORTATION 1980-2000

This report represents the initial futures research work undertaken by TDA. It has attempted to establish a suitable approach for studying long-range planning and used this to explore the key aspects of some future environments in which Canadian transportation may operate. Two principles have been established: No single aspect of the future can be studied in isolation; and the future must be studied as a range of likely alternatives. The sections of the study: Introduction; Contemporary Expectations About the Future; Scenarios of the Early 1990's; Building Blocks for Scenario Construction; Final Comments; Appendices.
