total benefits, regardless of their nature or magnitude.
2.3 Elected government officials are typically not considered key actors in public policy
formulation.
2.4 Excluding certain stakeholder groups from the consultation process often leads to
more effective and unbiased policy outcomes.

2.7 The "destination choice" step in the four-step transport modelling process involves
allocating trips to specific destinations based on their attractiveness.
