Abstract:

This report documents the findings of Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) Project C16, Effect of Smart Growth Policies on Travel Demand. The project will help practitioners in two ways to understand how smart growth impacts travel: first, through a synthesis of research, and second, through a user-friendly software tool, initially called Smart Growth Area Planning (SmartGAP) and recently renamed the Rapid Policy Assessment Tool (RPAT), that can be used to evaluate the impact of smart growth policies on regional travel demand. The software application offers a reliable tool that transportation and land use planners can apply to better understand how smart growth strategies can influence travel demand in their regions by capturing time-of-day effects. This capability can differentiate between smart growth benefits on both peak and nonpeak travel.
