Transportation Sector
• a category of companies that provide services moving people, goods, or
the infrastructure to do so.

• The transportation industry group consists of several industries including


air freight and logistics, airlines, marine, road and rail, and transportation
infrastructure. These industries are further broken down into the sub-
industries air freight and logistics, airlines, marine, railroads, trucking,
airport services, highways and rail tracks, and marine ports and services.

• Transportation facilities may include interstate highways, state trunk


highways, county state-aid highways, municipal state-aid routes, county
roads, municipal roads, township roads, railways, transit ways, airports, and
bike and pedestrian ways. Construction of each type of transportation
system results in varying degrees of use.

25
Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners
ZAMPEN BASULTA Chapter

Mode of Transportation

1. Road transportation
• Road infrastructures are large consumers of
space with the lowest level of physical
constraints among transportation modes.
• average operational flexibility as vehicles
can serve several purposes but are rarely
able to move outside roads.

2. Rail transportation
• composed of a traced path on which
wheeled vehicles are bound. In light of
more recent technological
developments, rail transportation also
include monorails and maglev.
• average level of physical constrains
linked to the types of locomotives and a
low gradient is required, particularly for
26
freight.
Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners
ZAMPEN BASULTA Chapter

Mode of Transportation

3. Maritime transportation
• most effective mode to move large quantities of cargo
over long distances. Main maritime routes are
composed of oceans, coasts, seas, lakes, rivers and
channels.
• has high terminal costs, since port infrastructures are
among the most expensive to build, maintain and
improve. High inventory costs also characterize maritime
transportation.

4. Air transportation
• Air transport constraints are multidimensional and
include the site (a commercial plane needs about
3,300 meters of runway for landing and take off), the
climate, fog and aerial currents.
• recently, air transportation has been accommodating
growing quantities of high value freight and is playing
a growing role in global logistics. 27
Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners
ZAMPEN BASULTA Chapter

Mode of Transportation

5. Intermodal transportation
• Concerns a variety of modes used in
combination so that the respective advantages
of each mode are better exploited.
• Containerization has been a powerful vector of
intermodal integration, enabling maritime and
land transportation modes to more effectively
interconnect.
6. Telecommunications.
• They provide for the "instantaneous" movement of
information (speed of light). Wave transmissions, because of
their limited coverage, often require substations, such as for
cellular phone networks.
• High network costs and low distribution costs characterize
many telecommunication networks, which are linked to the
tertiary and quaternary sectors (stock markets, business to
business information networks, etc.).

History of Transportation Planning


•Rise of automobile in the early 20th century
•Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1916, which allocated funds for
roadbuilding
•Rapkin (1954) developed transport and land use study Chicago
Area Transportation Study (1955) began and the standard for future
urban transportation studies. ‣CATS used a basic six-step procedure
pioneered in Detroit: data collection, forecasts, goal formulation,
preparation of network proposals, testing of proposals, and
evaluation of proposals
•Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 ‣ required transportation projects
in urbanized areas of 50,000 or more in population be based on an
urban transportation planning process ‣ provided construction
standards and maximum sizes and weights of vehicles that could
operate on the system

Transportation Planning
The process of understanding, assessing and designing transport
systems to provide for safe and efficient movement of people,
goods, and services in an environmentally responsible manner
It is a way to guide land use and control of growth patterns

Transportation

Activity Patterns Accessibility

Land Use
Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners
ZAMPEN BASULTA Chapter

Transportation Planning is concerned with


SAFETY: reduction of fatalities, injuries, and property damage
due to accidents
EFFICIENCY: optimal allocation of resources in moving
people and goods
ACCESS: provision of enabling technologies and services
to people that need to reach and use opportunities
COMFORT: travel in environments without causing unnecessary
stress and strain due to noise or other factors

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION REDUCTION: elimination of


contaminants in the air, water or soil that are at higher levels than
naturally found and that cause harm to animals, plants and
humans
