Transport Demand Model and Policy: A Comparative Analysis

This paper describes how a necessary condition for a policy proposition to be valid is the presence of consistency among goals, objectives, and policy instruments. Therefore, the intent of this paper is to suggest a rational sequence of steps in structuring a set of policy guidelines that are consistent with a macro framework from which forecasts are derived. Because the transportation sector is part of such macro framework, it becomes immediately obvious that any given forecast and/or policy proposition must be consistent with the overall structure and objectives of the economy. This means that a sectoral analysis is considered valid, if and only if, it is derived from a consistent macro structure. A case in point is the sequence and substance of a Strategic Planning Guidelines for the transport sector.
