Key Mistakes in Development of Transport Planning Documents

Sustainable development of any of the systems is impossible without long-term planning. The mechanism for implementing long-term planning in terms of providing transportation services to the population is development of relevant transport planning documents, namely: programs for integrated development of transport infrastructure, integrated traffic management schemes, integrated schemes for organizing public transportation services for the population.

This article is devoted to the analysis of typical mistakes that can be made by developers of relevant documents. The objective of the article is to highlight key errors, to reduce their number, and to improve, accordingly, quality of the documents being developed.

In preparing the article, the author used the comparative analysis of transport planning documents developed and approved by the authorities of large and largest cities, as well as the requirements regarding their content established by regulatory documents.

The article, referring to Russian practices, provides a breakdown of transport planning documents by key mandatory sections. Typical mistakes in development of each of them are highlighted. The article ends with description of key areas capable to reduce risks in development and further approval of transport planning documents.

General approaches revealed in the research are to great extent of universal nature, so the results can be applied to development of other transport documents besides those mentioned in the article, as well as in other countries.
