In the process of transportation planning, the planning need be conducted not just within the limits of the rational planning model but in the context of planning styles that match the type and characteristics of the system, as well as the degree of uncertainty involved in the process. There are three interdependent key variables: (a) the means (technologies); (b) the ends (goals and objectives); and (c) the degree of uncertainty attached to the means and ends. Three levels of the state of the technological know-how--that is, known, developing, and unknown--are considered and connected with three degrees of uncertainty attached to the goals and objectives of a planning agency. This connection results in a matrix of nine cells, each representing a particular type of planning problem, matching a unique planning style or a combination of planning styles. An agenda for action is proposed to aid the planner in selecting an appropriate planning style.
