Federal Highway Administration Scenario Planning Guidebook

This guidebook introduces scenario planning as a strategy to support and advance performance-based planning and programming (PBPP). 

The guidebook presents a framework for connecting established scenario planning processes with the four phases of PBPP: direction, analysis, programming, and implementation. Three case studies provide examples of agencies of varying sizes that have used scenario planning in innovative ways to advance the practice of PBPP. A section and appendix of scenario planning and performance measurement tools that can be used in, or incorporated into, scenario planning is also provided.
