Title: Challenges of Integrated Transportation and Land Use Planning


1
Challenges of Integrated Transportation and Land
Use Planning
  • Reid Ewing
  • Rutgers University

2
The Challenges
  • New Vision and Goals
  • New Performance Measures
  • Mutually Supportive Land Use Patterns-Transportati
    on Facilities
  • Model Enhancements
  • Implementing Mechanisms

3
New Vision and Goals
4
Floridas Definition of Sprawl
  • (Rule 9J-5.003, Florida Administrative Code)
  • Leapfrog or Scattered Development
  • Ribbon or Strip Commercial Development
  • Expanses of Low-Density or Single-Use Development

Sprawl vs. Walk Share to Work
9
Sprawl vs. VMT per Capita
10
Demand for Alternatives
  • Changing American Demographics
  • Desire for Community and Neighborliness
  • Growing Frustration with Congestion
  • Growing Interest in Health and Fitness

Too Much Grass to Mow

We Are Not European

Charlotte Corridors and Wedges Plan

It Can Happen
15
New Performance Measures
16
Commonly Used Performance Measures
17
The Bible
Are these really the best measures for quality
of transportation service?
18
Old Speed Paradigm - Roadway LOS
19
New Paradigms
20
TEA-21 Planning Factors
  • Economic Vitality
  • Accessibility and Mobility Options
  • Safety and Security for all Users
  • Environmental Protection, Energy Conservation,
    and Quality of Life
  • Enhanced Modal Integration and Connectivity
  • Efficient System Management and Operation
  • System Preservation

21
Oregons Transportation Policy Rule
  • Rule requires MPOs to reduce VMT per capita by
    10 over 20 years in metro areas with more than 1
    million population, and by 5 over 20 years in
    metro areas with 1 million or less population

22
New Florida Law
  • Multimodal Development District law allows local
    governments to establish multimodal
    level-of-service standards that rely primarily on
    nonvehicular modes of transportation within a
    district

23
New Maryland Law
  • Transportation Funding Areas Law requires the
    Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish
    measurable long-term and short-term performance
    goals in designated smart growth areas for
    increasing the systemwide share of trips by mass
    transit, walking, bicycling, and high occupancy
    vehicles

24
Mutually Supportive Land-Use Patterns and
Transportation Facilities
25
Rail Lines Without Riders
26
Sidewalks Without Pedestrians
27
Limits of New Urbanism
28
Cognitive Dissonance
29
The Future Belongs to Hybrids
30
Megatrends
  • In a relatively short time, the unified mass
    society has fractionalized into many diverse
    groups of people with a wide array of different
    taste and values, what advertisers call a
    market-segmented, market-decentralized society.
  • Naisbitt 1982

31
Urban Refill
32
Green Development
33
Transit-Oriented Development
34
Pedestrian Villages
35
Hybrid Communities
36
Hybrid Neighborhoods
37
Model Enhancements
38
Travel Demand Modeling Issue
  • Conventional 4-step models are not sensitive to
    effects of density, mix, and design on travel
    behavior


39
Differences in Travel Patterns
  • Vehicle Ownership
  • Home-Based Trip Productions
  • Non-Home Based Trip Attractions
  • Intrazonal Trips
  • Transit Trips
  • Walk Trips
  • Peak Hour Factors

42
Different Future Land Use Patterns
43
Less VMT (and Everything Else) with LUTRAQ
44
Westside MAX Line -- Suburban TOD
45
Land-Use Impacts
46
Implementing Mechanisms
47
Examples
  • Adequate Public Facilities Requirements
  • Transit-Oriented Development
  • Context-Sensitive Highway Design
  • Traffic Calming
  • Access Management
  • Regional Growth Management

48
Change in VMT Per Capita (1990-99)
Baltimore 2.15
Orlando 3.95
Portland 4.64

Florida Growth Management General Failure
50
1985 Concurrency Requirement
51
Constant Reform Will They Ever Get It Right?
52
Transportation and Land Use Study Committee
The state land planning agency and the
Department of Transportation shall evaluate the
statutory provisions relating to land use and
transportation coordination and planningand
shall consider changes to statutes, as well as to
all pertinent rules 1998 Florida Legislative
Session
53
Oregon Growth Management Mixed Results
54
Regulatory Tools
  • Urban Growth Boundaries
  • Density Targets
  • Transportation Policy Rule

55
Documented Accomplishments
  • Stronger Downtown Employment Base
  • Higher Suburban Densities
  • Less Land Consumption

56
Maryland Smart Growth Promising Alternative
57
Inside and Outside Games
58
Smart Growth Results
  • The Good News
  • 75 of new parcels are INSIDE PFAs
  • Thru Rural Legacy and related POS projects,
    committed 137 million over last 4 years to
    permanently protect 54,000 acres.
  • In last 7 years, total MD acres protected
    increased 40, from 589,000 to 825,000 acres
  • The Bad News
  • 75 of acreage developed is OUTSIDE PFAs
  • The average lot size OUTSIDE PFAs is 8 times the
    size of lots INSIDE PFAs
  • County-specific performance varies widely
