ABSTRACT

To understand transport planning, it is first necessary to understand the meaning of the

two words that comprise the term. Section 30.1 defines transport as the movement of

people and goods. Planning is a task undertaken to:

* predict future needs and the consequences of possible future courses of action, and

thus to

* ensure that resources available for development are efficiently (Section 33.5.2)

and effectively (Section 30.2.2) allocated.
