• Abstract:
  The purpose of this guidebook is to assist transportation agencies with carrying out a scenario
  
  planning process from start to finish. Transportation agencies can use the guidebook as a framework
  
  to develop a scenario planning approach tailored to their needs.
  
  The guidebook presents the six key phases that agencies are likely to encounter when implementing
  
  the scenario planning process:
  
  • Phase 1: How Should We Get Started? Scope the effort and engage partners.
  
  • Phase 2: Where Are We Now? Establish a baseline analysis. Identify factors and trends that
  
  affect the state, region, community, or study area.
  
  • Phase 3: Who Are We and Where Do We Want to Go? Establish future goals and
  
  aspirations based on values of the state, region, community, or study area.
  
  • Phase 4: What Could the Future Look Like? Create baseline and alternative scenarios.
  
  • Phase 5: What Impacts Will Scenarios Have? Assess scenario impacts, influences, and
  
  effects.
  
  • Phase 6: How Will We Reach Our Desired Future? Craft the comprehensive vision.
  
  Identify strategic actions and performance measures.
