Function Of Transportation Planner
In the role
of coordinator-catalyst, the suggested function of the transportation planner or technical
team during the transportation planning process might be as follows:
Step 1. Study
design. Define the scope of the study and the initial work program. Establish
the data base and acquire a basic understanding of the needs, plans, and
objectives of potentially affected communities and citizens.
Step 2.
Exploration of the alternatives. Continue data gathering. Establish contact
with representatives of other affected agencies; begin to develop alternative
project concepts and designs. There is extensive interaction with the public.
It is hoped that, at the end of this stage, there will be heightened community
understanding without affected groups taking hardened positions.
Step 3. Detailed
analysis. Prepare detailed transportation plans for appropriate alternatives through extensive
community interaction; attempt to produce substantial agreement on
alternatives.
Step 4.
Choice. Secure formal ratification by the community and community officials and
document the results. If all has gone well, this step is a formality.
From the viewpoint of professional ethics, planners must recognize that their role is to provide knowledge and an unbiased viewpoint. There is always the temptation to become partisan and emotionally involved. To do so can jeopardize the transport planners' credibility and, even more important, cause them to feel personal defeat and disillusionment with themselves and their profession if the solution they favor is not adopted.22
