Download or read book Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning written by Reid Ewing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning at a metropolitan scale is important for effective management of urban growth, transportation systems, air quality, and watershed and green-spaces. It is fundamental to efforts to promote social justice and equity. Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning shows how the most innovative metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the United States are addressing these issues using their mandates to improve transportation networks while pursuing emerging sustainability goals at the same time. As both a policy analysis and a practical how-to guide, this book presents cutting-edge original research on the role accessibility plays - and should play - in transportation planning, tracks how existing plans have sought to balance competing priorities using scenario planning and other strategies, assesses the results of various efforts to reduce automobile dependence in cities, and explains how to make planning documents more powerful and effective. In highlighting the most innovative practices implemented by MPOs, regional planning councils, city and county planning departments and state departments of transportation, this book aims to influence other planning organizations, as well as influence federal and state policy discussions and legislation.
Download or read book Transportation Land Use and Environmental Planning written by Elizabeth Deakin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation, Land Use, and Environmental Planning examines the practices and policies linking transportation, land use and environmental planning needed to achieve a healthy environment, thriving economy, and more equitable and inclusive society. It assesses best practices for improving the performance of city and regional transportation systems, looking at such issues as public transit and non-motorized travel investments, mixed use and higher density urban development, radically transformed vehicles, and transportation systems. The book lays out the growing need for greater integration of transportation, land use, and environmental planning, looking closely at changing demographic needs, public health concerns, housing affordability, equity, and livability. In addition, strategies for achieving these desired outcomes are presented, including urban design and land use planning, regional and corridor-level transit plans, bike and pedestrian improvements, demand management strategies, and emerging technologies and services. The final part of the book examines implementation challenges, considering lessons from the US and around the globe at both local and regional levels. - Introduces never-before-published research - Offers best practices for transit, cycling, urban design and housing provision - Assesses emerging developments, such as smart cities, new vehicle technologies, automated highways and transportation sharing - Examines the institutional and political dimensions of sustainability planning at the urban and regional levels - Utilizes case studies from around the world that show alternative ways forward
Download or read book A Guide to Metropolitan Transportation Planning Under ISTEA written by United States. Federal Transit Administration and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have prepared this guide for transportation professionals, elected officials, and policymakers, as well as community and business interests, who want to understand and participate in the transportation planning and decisionmaking process. It has two objectives: first, to provide a framework for linking the various elements of ISTEA's transportation planning process together in a comprehensive manner; and second, to provide information, suggestions, and examples of ways to carry out the metropolitan planning process. Part One describes the changes Congress and the President envisioned in the transportation planning and investment process when they enacted ISTEA. Part Two discusses the products of the transportation planning process: the transportation plan and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Part Three describes the elements of transportation planning and how metropolitan areas can use them to develop transportation plans and TIPs that meet their needs and the expectations of the Federal Government. Part Four provides a reference guide to Federal regulations, guidance, and other useful information that have been published on ISTEA and the planning process.

Download or read book Integrated Assessment for Health Effects of Sustainable Transportation Strategies written by Yizheng Wu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on the integrated health impact assessment (HIA) of regional sustainable transportation strategies at a fine spatial scale, examining the spatial and demographic variations in public health changes. The sustainable transportation strategies, e.g. promotion of active travel (walking and bicycling), can improve public health through increases in physical activity at the population level. At the same time, changes in active travel impact the risk of traffic injury or increase exposure to air pollution. Therefore, it is critical to assess the comprehensive health impacts of transportation plans. This study enhances the existing HIA tools by providing spatial disaggregated estimates of the public health changes expected to result from plan implementation through three transportation-health exposure pathways: physical activity, traffic injury, and air quality. Integrating with a local activity-based model (ABM), the study applies the individual level trip information to report disaggregated results from physical activity and traffic injury based on a real-world implementation. The implementation is developed for the City of Sacramento, California under its 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016 MTP/SCS). Air quality is quantified by a project- level modeling framework, including the well-calibrated emission model MOVES and air dispersion model AERMOD. Human exposure levels to vehicular pollutants are estimated based on the resulting air pollution concentration and dynamic population activity pattern obtained from local ABM at a highly resolved spatial and temporal scale. This study presents the health equity analysis to report demographically explicit (i.e. race/ethnicity and household income) results from the implementation of 2016 MTP/SCS. This demographical disaggregation is helpful because travel behavior and health outcomes are affected by race/ethnicity and its correlates (e.g. residential location) and planning agencies are required to ensure that their policies and projects are nondiscriminatory. The results demonstrate that the fundamental insights of the application can be applied to different racial and ethnic groups, providing decision makers with the information needed to target interventions to achieve outcomes for disadvantaged populations.
Download or read book First Last Mile Strategic Plan written by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is developing a world-class rail system with stations that will be a short distance (three miles or less) from the homes of 7.8 million Los Angeles County residents. Over time, this number will continue to grow as cities modify their land-use plans to provide more housing and jobs near stations, consistent with market demand and regional goals for more sustainable communities. These planning guidelines outline a specific infrastructure improvement strategy designed to facilitate easy, safe, and efficient access to the Metro system. They introduce a concept herein referred to as ‘the Pathway’, and provide direction on the layout of transit access networks and components within Metro Rail and fixed route Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station areas. They serve as a resource for Metro and the many public and private organizations throughout the region working to update programs, land-use plans, planning guidelines, business models, entitlement processes, and other tools that take advantage of LA County’s significant investment in the public transportation network.
