Planning for Operations
Welcome to the Planning for Operations Website
The goal of this website is to promote multimodal planning practice that supports 21st century transportation system management and operations. In order to link 21st Century operational services into the transportation planning and programming process, transportation planners and operators should have a common understanding of the mobility, safety, and efficiency benefits of linking planning and operations.

What Is Planning for Operations?
Planning for Operations is a joint effort between operations and planning that encompasses the important institutional underpinnings needed for effective Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations. Planning for Operations includes three important aspects:
- Regional transportation operations collaboration and coordination activity that facilitates Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations,
- Management and operations considerations within the context of the ongoing regional transportation planning and investment process, and
- The opportunities for linkage between regional operations collaboration and regional planning.
