Abstract Transportation research programs have emphasized and enhanced the rational comprehensive model of planning, and this has led to an emphasis on quantitative technical studies. In this paper alternative models of transportation policy are presented, including an “organizational perspective” and a “personal perspective.” Although research based on the rational comprehensive perspective can enhance our understanding of transportation systems, it is also useful to broaden research programs in reflection of the other perspectives that are equally valid. A review of these perspectives is presented in order to demonstrate the extent to which they can contribute to an understanding of transportation decision-making, institutions and planning processes.
