Abstract:
Florida has made significant progress towards integrating land use and transportation planning in recent years because of the Urban Land Use Allocation Model (ULAM) and through its statewide land use modeling support system. The ULAM model is a land use planning package which consists of over sixty separate programs used for a variety of planning applications in addition to the allocation of future growth to traffic zones. All ULAM programs are accessed through a series of Windows based "point and click" menus. From the main menu the use can access the ULAM reference library which provides access to all documentation and reference materials. The Florida Department of Transportation Systems Planning Office has been especially pro-active in the effort to integrate land use and transportation planning. The decision by that office to provide ULAM free to local planning agencies throughout Florida, the implementation of a statewide training program on land use modeling, and a commitment to provide technical support and documentation to support the implementation and application of land use modeling techniques at the local level have been important factors in the decision my many local planning agencies to include land use modeling in their local planning process.
