Summary

The following report summarizes a Peer Workshop on tools and effective practices for scenario planning. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) coordinated and led the daylong workshop in Burlington, Vermont. Presenters from the FHWA provided participants with an overview of the scenario planning process and described available resources and tools to assist with scenario planning analysis. Local planning staffs, elected officials, and consultants joined the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) for a one-day scenario planning workshop. Attendees hailed from across the region and shared their views on introducing scenario planning to their planning processes.

Presenters from the Binghamton Metropolitan Transportation Study, the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments, Renaissance Planning Group, VTrans, CCMPO, and the Federal Highway Administration provided the group with information on implementing scenario planning in a variety of community contexts.
