This is an exciting time for transportation planning from the viewpoint of the urban planning profession because the relationships between planning and transportation have increased dramatically in number and intensity during several years. The formulation of the land use/transportation equilibrium relationship in the 1950s was a moment of initial enthusiasm about the planning-transportation relationship, but the actual work had evolved into a technical activity dominated by a cadre of systems engineers. It is remarkable how the basic elements of transportation planning have remained the same across time. Transportation decision making has become extremely complicated.

For agreement of transportation actions of any kind, it is noticeable that the creation of a local culture is essential.
