Scenario planning is a technique that helps assess and prepare for possible future conditions. Each scenario tells a different, plausible story about the future.
Using input from the public and other stakeholders, agencies can create scenarios that incorporate a wide variety of factors, such as housing, employment, socioeconomic trends, environmental features, vehicle miles traveled, and others. The specific factors incorporated in scenarios will depend on what the agency hopes to accomplish in its scenario planning effort. By creating several different scenarios, agencies can better assess what might occur in the future for a given region or area. As a result, agencies are able to make more informed decisions about how to plan for the future. FHWA supports scenario planning as an enhancement of the traditional transportation planning process. The technique can help agencies and stakeholders compare choices and consequences to make better decisions; identify change affecting communities and regions; and better understand the complex relationships that exist between transportation and social, environmental, and economic factors.
