Increasing urbanization and the need for relocation introduces optimal transportation as a major factor in increasing the level of citizen satisfaction. As a result, governments often spend most of their budgets on repairing and building transportation infrastructure. Now, if a precise and expert decision is not made to prioritize investment in transportation infrastructure, it will cause budget waste, negative impact on the economy and environmental and social damage. Due to the limited budget of Gilan province and the economic conditions prevailing in the whole country, the purpose of this article is to determine the investment priorities in the transportation infrastructure of Gilan province. This research is applied in terms of purpose and analytical-descriptive in terms of method. Document collection was done by referring to articles, documents and books and field collection was done using a questionnaire. In the present study, the multi-criteria method of infrastructure prioritization framework or IPF was used to prioritize investment in transportation infrastructure, which is a quantitative multi-criteria prioritization method and measures socio-environmental and financial-economic indicators. In addition to budget constraints are considered. In this method, using the opinion of experts in the form of a questionnaire and collecting the required data, calculations were performed, which finally showed the results on a visible graph. The analysis of the findings and results shows that the railway infrastructure in Gilan province has the first priority of investment, followed by road infrastructure in the second place and maritime transport infrastructure in the third place, and finally the transport infrastructure. Air is a priority.
