The guidelines in addition to the introduction have seven main chapters. Chapter 2 explains the process by which a transport strategy may be established (a chart of this process is included). Chapter 3 describes ways in which objectives can be formulated and problems identified. Chapter 4 describes the full range of potential components of urban transport strategies, and highlights the likely contribution each component may make to the achievement of objectives. Chapter 5 describes the appraisal process. Chapter 6 describes the range of computer-based models for forecasting demand for travel and resulting levels of service on the transport system. Chapter 7 includes the various ways in which the public may be consulted on, informed about and invited to participate in the strategy development process. Chapter 8 describes the planning process through which a strategy must pass on its way to being implemented as a phased sequence of schemes, and also explains the sources of potential funds.
