Abstract :Transportation planning process, which requires a multi-criteria decision making a very specific decision, is one of the most important issues of metropolitan cities. There are many projects in the field of rail systems in Istanbul and some of these projects are monorail projects. Through this way, urban transportation is supported by various types of public transportation. However, it is not possible to allocate the resources to all projects at the same time. This is affected by several criteria, especially by limited budgetary constraints. In this study, monorail projects were evaluated in accordance with urban needs of Istanbul and the planning was done under three different budget scenarios. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used in the evaluation process of the projects and the goal programming (GP) model was used for the selection process. As a result, the selection of the monorail projects planned for Istanbul was made.Keywords : AHP, Goal programming, Monorail, Multicriteria decision making
