Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Understanding issues of growth, especially the spatial nature of recent urban development and its implications for travel patterns has received a great deal of attention. This paper investigates changes in measures of jobs-housing balance, commuting statistics and other indicators for a small MSA based on spatial data obtained from the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) 1990 and 2000. The Tallahassee, FL urban area is analyzed and the key research questions probe whether there were substantial changes in urban form and commuting over the period. A two-tiered approach is taken where change is explored at the regional and local scale using GIS, optimization procedures, and inferential statistical techniques. The results reveal the extent of changes in Tallahassee over the time period and they suggest some stability in its urban structure. These findings are discussed and directions for future work are identified.
