transportation scale

Transportation scale refers to the broad level at which transportation activities are analyzed or planned, ranging from local (such as a neighborhood or city) to regional, national, or even global levels. It considers the size, scope, and complexity of transportation networks and systems involved. Smaller scales focus on specific areas with localized infrastructure, while larger scales address extensive networks connecting multiple regions or countries. Understanding the transportation scale helps optimize planning, policy-making, and infrastructure development to efficiently meet mobility needs across different levels of geographic space.
