Transportation choice can provide a variety of benefits, although conventional transportation planning tends to undervalue them and to overlook some transportation options. A more comprehensive range of transportation choice benefits, objectives, and solutions is described and several methods for evaluating transportation choice are discussed. Twenty-five specific transportation options are considered, including various travel modes, substitutes for physical travel, and land use strategies that improve access.
