The report presents national strategic transport planning and the evaluation methodology applied for this purpose in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. It is based on a paper prepared for the TRANS-TALK Thematic Network “Policy and Project Evaluation Methodologies” under the EU Competitive and Sustainable Growth Programme. The review shows that the strategic planning concept as applied in Scandinavia is fairly advanced and well designed. Current comprehensive and cross-sectoral transport planning has its conceptual roots in the national long term planning of transport infrastructure projects, which started in the 1960's. The concept has changed dramatically over the last three decades "from project focus to strategies". The report discusses whether current methods address strategic planning needs and the need for further development.
