An Application of SHRP2’s Transportation for Communities Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP):A Case Study in Colorado Springs

摘要

In 2011, the MPO of the Colorado Springs region volunteered to test an innovative web-based approachto planning called Transportation for Communities Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP).This tool was developed and launched by Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) funding. Theprocess of learning, testing, applying and assessing the TCAPP for long range planning allowed PPACGstaff to gain insights and recommendations on advancing TCAPP. PPACG also integrated a set of landuse, conservation, and decision support tools with the TCAPP. Since the SHRP2’s TCAPP is transferableto other MPOs and regions, the information gathered in this report can extend the reach of this importantweb-based tool.
