Purpose: This study examines how the transport sector has become prominent in any country's economic, social, and urban development.
Theoretical Framework: The growth and development achieved by this transport sector extends its impact to all other sectors, especially at the local level, which affects the country’s general economic growth. This is reflected in the significant contribution that this sector makes, directly or indirectly, to the growth of the Gross Domestic Product and the increase in the financial returns to the State.
Method: We used the descriptive approach to present the study variables and the inductive approach to draw conclusions and link them to confirm the study hypothesis.
Design/Methodology/Approach: One of the most important results of the transport sector’s contribution to local economic development is its effective assistance in linking production and distribution areas with consumption areas and in ensuring the movement of individuals and the transport sector is also important in creating employment opportunities for a large part of the population, either in the transport sector itself or in other sectors related to or affected by its development.
Findings: The study demonstrated that planning transportation programs has become one of the main elements upon which the state's development programs, including local ones, are based, which depend heavily on them for their success and achieving their goals that have a direct impact socially, economically, and politically.
Originality/Value: The value of the study lies in demonstrating the impact of transportation means and their planning on the success of sustainable local development programs.
