Morphology
transportational = transportation (transparent) = transport + ation + al
The adjective is formed in the standard way from 'transportation' with '-al', so the meaning 'relating to transportation' is directly recoverable.
Etymology
Transportational comes from the simpler word transport, which breaks into trans- 'across' and port, as in portable, 'to carry'. So it means 'carrying across', which is why it describes moving people or goods from one place to another.
