Title: Evaluating the Effect of Smart Growth Policies on Travel Demand
Accession Number: 01534196
Record Type: Monograph
Blurb URL: Abstract: This article describes Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) Capacity project C16, which had the objective of providing transportation planning agencies with improved tools and methods for more accurately and comprehensively integrating transportation investment decision-making with land development and growth management. The project produced two products to improve communication, interaction, and partnerships between decision-makers and planners in both the transportation and land use arenas: 1) a decision support software tool for regional and local planners to test smart growth scenarios and evaluate their impact on travel demand; and 2) on-line resources to understand the dynamics and inter-relationships of smart growth strategies with the performance of a transportation investment as background and supplement to the software tool. These resources can bridge the gap between regional planning visioning exercises and transportation plans in relation to the evaluation of smart growth strategies. This will allow state, regional, and local agencies to evaluate smart growth strategies quickly and easily so that promising smart growth strategies can be identified and pursued in the land use and transportation planning processes. This can also supplement more sophisticated modeling efforts, which can be used to evaluate specific smart growth projects.
