Generally speaking, one can distinguish three levels of NTI planning:
1. NTI planning is limited to a chapter or a paragraph of the National Development Plan;
2. National transportation plans and master plans play a leading role in NTI planning;
3. NTI planning is integrated in land use, where policy and competition for finance are key
drivers.
Most of the OECD countries range in the third category, whilst many developing countries can
be found in the first category. Examples of countries that fall under the second category, are:
 Africa: Angola, Botswana, Nigeria, RSA, Uganda, Zimbabwe.
 Asia: Afghanistan, Malaysia, Nepal, Oman, Singapore.
 Europe: Austria, Belarus, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden,
United Kingdom.
 Oceania: Australia, Cook Islands, Micronesia, Vanuatu.
