Transportation Planning: Scenarios for the Future

10/29/2017 AASHTO International Day 2017

Background

• Scenario planning is a tool that can highlight the major forces that

can shape the future

• This provides decision makers with information and ideas today to

help them strategize for meet tomorrow Purpose

• The purpose is to use the scenario planning process as a tool to

develop several descriptive futures (scenarios) of the deployment, market uptake, use, and impacts of innovative technologies.
