This Transport Planning Level 3 Training course consists of ten structured lectures, followed by a final assessment, each addressing a core area of transport planning knowledge and professional understanding.
The course begins with an introduction to transport planning, examining its role in society, key planning principles, and the legal and regulatory context that shapes transport decision-making.
Transport modelling and analysis introduce different types of transport models, their applications, and limitations. Learners develop awareness of how modelling supports forecasting, evaluation, and evidence-based transport planning.
Sustainable transport planning focuses on principles and strategies that promote low-carbon mobility, active travel, public transport use, and reduced environmental impact. Learners explore how transport planning contributes to emissions reduction and sustainability objectives.
Transport policy and planning examine national and local policy contexts, planning principles, and the processes involved in developing and implementing transport policies.
Transport and land use planning explore the relationship between transport systems and land development, including how transport planning shapes urban form and supports integrated development.
Transport economics introduces economic principles relevant to transport planning, including cost-benefit awareness, economic appraisal concepts, and the role of transport in economic growth.
Transport operations and management focus on operational principles, management strategies, and the role of technology in improving transport system performance.
Transport safety and security examine safety principles, risk reduction strategies, and how transport planning supports accident and incident reduction.
Transport and the environment explore environmental impacts, environmental impact assessment awareness, and the role of transport planning in achieving environmental sustainability.
The course concludes with transport and society, examining social impacts, stakeholder engagement, consultation processes, and the role of transport planning in promoting social inclusion. The final exam assesses learners’ understanding of transport planning concepts, analytical awareness, and professional context.
