Transportation Policy and
Planning compromises the whole
context of economic, social, and
political actions that determine the
distribution of development, goods,
and services. Transport policy tries
to make decisions concerning the
allocation of transport resources
while transport planning is their
effective implementation.
TRANSPORTATION POLICY
Deals with developing a set of
constructs and propositions that
are established to achieved
specific objectives relating to
social, economic, and
environmental conditions, and the
functioning and performance of
the transport system.
POLICY
INSTRUMENTS
•PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
•SUBSIDIES
•REGULATORY CONTROL
•RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT
•LABOR REGULATIONS
•SAFETY AND OPERATING
STANDARDS
SPECIFIC POLICY CHALLENGES:
•CROSS SECTIONAL ISSUES
The Cross-sectional characteristics of
logistics require new information and
knowledge to support public policy.
SPECIFIC POLICY CHALLENGES:
•CROSS-JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
The cross-jurisdiction characteristics of
logistics require new realms of engagement
and intervention of public policy.
SPECIFIC POLICY CHALLENGES:
• TRANSNATIONAL ACTORS
The transitional character of logistics
requires the consideration of trade and
transactions as a policy issue.
GLOBALIZATION

Increased interactions at the

international level, both for
freight and passengers.
DEREGULATION AND PRIVATIZATION

This enabled the transfer of

ownership and operation of many
transport modes to the private
sector and favored the entry of
new actors.
A BROADER FOCUS OF POLICIES

This has enabled better

coordination of investments
improving the efficiency of
interconnected transportation
networks and the related supply
chains.
BENEFITS OF 1. The rules by which the transport organization is
governed are set down, understood and followed by
TRANSPORTATION everyone involved.
2. Common methods are used for everybody involved in
POLICIES: the transportation and work in the department thus
increasing operational efficiency
3. Control systems are established in the opera
environment within the organization
4. The transportation policies represent the procedures
necessary to obtain the maximum benefits in the
minimum time.
5. They are necessary to train newcomers to the
transport industry and to keep other member informed of
the agreed policies.

GOVERNANCE IN
TRANSPORTATION

Concerns the ownership and management of

assets and resources to fulfil goals such as profit
or welfare through the exercise or authority and
institutional resources.
 GOVERNANCE IN
TRANSPORTATION
TWO MAIN COMPONENTS
• Public Ownership
Passenger railroads are owned by the
national government ADVANTAGES
Confidence
•Private Ownership Capital costs
There are numerous exceptions for certain Competitiveness
modes, such as road freight, rail freight Stability
and privatization in ports and airports.
BENEFITS OF
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
1. Provides information, tools and public
engagement needed for improving
transportation system performance.
2. Is a Comprehensive, Cooperative, and
Continuing process (3 Cs) that requires
monitoring of the system's performance and
condition.
3. Influences many decisions, including
policies, choices among alternative strategies,
priorities and funding allocations.
 EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND POLICY REQUIRE THAT
EACH OF THE FACTOR:
Leadership
Organizational Structure
Tangible assets of the
organization
External Environment
Dominant Coalitions
Individual Behavior
Interpersonal Relationships
Quality of work life and other
motivational forces
TRANSPORT SECURITY
The foundation of transport security
includes several dimensions and
potential measures:
• Dimensions - Particularly concerning
the integrity of the passengers or
cargo, the route, and information
systems managing the transport chain.
• Measures - The set of procedures that
can be implemented to maintain the
integrity of the passengers or cargo.
EXPECTED OUTCOME OF SUCH
MEASURES:
✔Reduced risk of travel or trade disruptions
✔Improved security against theft
✔Improved security against illegal transport of
passengers and goods
✔Improved reliance on the information systems
✔Reduced risk of evasion of duties and taxes
✔Increased confidence in the international
trading system
✔Improved screening process
