Transportiplaneerimisel is the Estonian term for transport planning. It encompasses the process of developing strategies and plans to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable movement of people and goods within a specific geographical area, such as a city, region, or country. This involves analyzing existing transportation networks, forecasting future demand, and identifying needs for infrastructure development, service improvements, and policy changes.

The goals of transportiplaneerimisel are multifaceted. They often include reducing traffic congestion, improving accessibility for all users, enhancing public transport options, promoting walking and cycling, minimizing environmental impact through reduced emissions, and ensuring economic competitiveness. It requires a holistic approach, considering various modes of transport like road, rail, air, water, and non-motorized options.

Key activities within transportiplaneerimisel involve data collection and analysis on traffic flows, accident statistics, travel patterns, and demographic trends. Based on this information, planners develop strategies that may involve building new roads or public transport lines, optimizing existing infrastructure, implementing traffic management systems, and creating policies that encourage modal shift. Stakeholder engagement is also crucial, involving consultations with government agencies, transport operators, businesses, and the public to ensure plans meet diverse needs and gain widespread support. The ultimate aim is to create a well-functioning and resilient transportation system that supports societal well-being and economic growth.
