Transportation-Related Land Use Strategies to Minimize Motor Vehicle Emissions:An Indirect Source Research Study

摘要

This report suggests community-revel performance goals that can reasonably be attained in urban, suburban and rural/exurban communities by implementing packages of transportation-related land use strategies in coordination with a multimodal transportation system. The performance goals are listed in terms of average annual vehicle travel per household and related vehicular emissions. The report recommends eight packages of transportation-related land use strategies appropriate for urban, suburban, and rural/exurban communities. It also provides detailed descriptions of specific strategy characteristics for each type of community, including suggested development densities and mixtures and configurations of land uses. In addition, implementation mechanisms for local governments are listed and examples provided of existing programs.
