**INITIAL PLANNING ACTIVITIES CHECKLIST**

The checklist on *initial planning activities* targets scenarios linked
to particular planned special events that may require modifications to
the traffic management plan on the day-of-event. A proactive response to
such scenarios involves the development of contingency plans packaged
into a scenario-based traffic management plan that provides a selection
of options for a range of potential unexpected events. The figure below
summarizes the types of assessments made for each of the four steps in
the initial planning activities checklist:
