Because traditional transportation planning analyzed the urban travel demand for each traffic zone and paid less attention on local life activities, many improvement alternatives have thus not been effectively carried out. This paper first defines the local life transportation as a transportation environment which can satisfy the local people's needs on living, working and leisure activities, then compares the differences between traditional transportation planning and local life transportation planning, and formulates the goals and strategies and survey procedures. This paper concludes with the case study of local life transportation planning for Taipei City Center.
