Transportation is the “act or means of carrying people or goods from one place to
another.”

The role of a transportation system is to provide effective and efficient way of doing
this. Like, any “system”, a transportation system is comprised of multiple, inter -
connected components, each of which serves a unique role, while also supporting
the other components.

1. Bicycle/Pedestrian
Appropriate bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure integral part of a
comprehensive transportation system.
Providing for bicyclists and pedestrians
contributes to a healthy community
and supports other transportation
components by reducing the number
of cars on the road- thus reducing
both congestion and maintenace need
s – and providing for the “first and last
smile” – that portion of a trip before
and after a person uses public
transportation or parks their private
vehicle.
Part 02
Freight
(movement of good)
The movement of freight is integr
al to the regional economy and is
changing rapidly with ever-increas
ing home deliveries, new technolo
gies that affect manufacturing pro
cesses, and more. COMPASS is pla
nning for a transportation system
that considers freight needs, allow
s for the safe and efficient movem
ent of freight vehicles, and provid
es for safe interactions between fr
eight vehicles and other users of t
he transportation system.
Part 03
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Public transportation – locally comprised of buses and
commuter vans – serves an integral role in the overall
transportation system. Public transportation supports
other transportation components by taking single-occ
upancy vehicles off the road and providing transportat
ion services for those who cannot, or choose not to, dr
ive personal vehicles.
Part 04

ROADWAYS
Roadways are the backbone of the tran
sportation system in Ada and Canyon C
ounties. Cars, buses, commuter vans, a
nd freight vehicles rely on our roadway
s. In addition, bike lanes and sidewalks
along roadways provide a significant p
ortion of our local bicycle and pedestri
an infrastructure. How to best accomm
odate all transportation needs is consi
dered when planning and designing ro
adways.

MODES

They represent the conveyances,

mostly taking the form of vehicles
to convey mobility to passengers o
r freight. Some modes are designe
d to carry only passengers or freig
ht, while others can carry both.
MODES OF TRANSPORT

1. Air Transport
Air transport includes all transport throughthe air airctf. In an urb
an regional context this transport include local air cratf such as small air
planes or helicopter.
Example: hot air ballons, blimps, zeppelins, airplanes and helicopt
er.
2. Land Transport
Land transportation simply means any form of treansportation th
at takes place on land.
Example: motorcars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, bicycles, pedestri
ans.
MODES OF TRANSPORT

3. Water Transport
Water transport is the process of transport that a watercraft, suc
h as a barge, boat, ship or sailboat, makes over a body of water, such as
a sea, ocean, lake, canal or river.
4. Human-powered
Human-powered transport, a form of sustainable transportation,
is the transport of people and/ goods using human muscle-power, in the
form of walking, running and swimming.
MODES OF TRANSPORT

5. Animal-powered
Animal-powered transport is the use of working animals for the
movement of people and goods. Humans may use some of the animals d
irectly, use them as pack animals for carrying goods, or harness them, al
one or in teams, to pull sleds or wheeled vehicles.

Example: Balsa, Kalesa

 Part 02
INFRASTRUCTURE

The physical support of transport modes, where routes (e.g. rail tracks, canals or highways) an
d terminals (e.g. ports or airports) are the most significant components. Infrastructures also inc
lude superstructures which are movable assets that usually have a shorter lifespan. So, for an a
irport the infrastructure would be assets such as the runways while the superstructure would b
e the terminals and control equipment. For a port, the infrastructure would be piers and naviga
tion channels while the superstructure would be cranes and yard equipment.
 Part 03
NETWORKS

A system of linked locations that are used to represent the fu

nctional and spatial organization of transportation. This syste
m indicates which locations are connected and how they are s
erviced. Within a network some locations are more accessible
(more connections) than others (less connections).
COMPONENTS OF
TRANSPORT NETWORKS
• Node. Any location that has access to a transportation network.
• Link. Physical transport infrastructures enabling two nodes to be con
nected.
• Flow. The amount of traffic that circulates on a link between two nod
es and the amount of traffic going througha node.
• Gateway. A node that is connecting two different systems of circulati
on that are usually separate networks and which acts as compulsory p
assage for various flows.
• Hub. A node that is handling a substantial amount of traffic and conn
ects elements of the same transport networks, or different scales of t
he network.
COMPONENTS OF
TRANSPORT NETWORKS
• Feeder. A node that is linked to the hub. It organizes the direction of f
lows along acorridor and can be considered as aconsolidation and dist
ribution point.
• Corridor. A sequence of nodes and links supporting modal flows of pa
ssenger freight. They are generally concentrated along a communicati
on axis, have a linear orientation and connected toa gateway.
 Part 04
FLOWS

Movements of people, freight and information over their

respective networks. Flows have origins, intermediary locatio
ns and destinations. An intermediary location is often require
d to go from an origin to a destination. For instance, flying fro
m one airport to another may require a transit at hub airport.
Add your title

All transportation needs should be considered when designing ro

adways and means of meeting those needs must be intentionally built in
to the transportation system design. One example of discussing how all t
hese transportation system components merge is the concept of “compl
ete streets.” The idea of complete streets is to plan and design roadways
with an appropriate balance for all users – bicyclists and pedestrians, pu
blic transportation users, freight, and auto users. A key premise of compl
ete streets is to plan roadways within the framework of the entire trans
portation system. That is, each individual roadway does not need to serv
e all needs for all users – one road can be designed to maximize the effic
iency for freight traffic, while a parallel route can be designed to maximi
ze efficiency for bicyclists.
