The successful implementation of a transportation control measure (TCM) and, in particular, appropriate combinations of measures may provide significant benefits to urban areas in the form of congestion reduction, improvements in air quality, and fuel savings. The effectiveness of TCMs in accomplishing these goals will most often be determined by the specific characteristics of the urban environment in which they are implemented. A macroanalysis model--a unified framework that links the transportation planning and air quality analysis models--is developed. The framework can then be used to evaluate the impact of a TCM on mobility, transportation-related emissions, and energy consumption. The results from two sample networks show that the effectiveness of a TCM depends on the characteristics of the networks. The evaluated TCMs are limited to those that affect travel time or travel costs.
