transportation policy
Movement governance rules
Transportation policy is the set of laws, regulations, and government decisions governing how people and goods move—covering roads, public transit, railways, aviation, and shipping.
It addresses infrastructure funding, safety standards, environmental impact, and access: The city's transportation policy prioritizes bike lanes over parking.
Such policies shape urban development, economic activity, and daily commutes.
