Past Projects : 2001 – 2003 : Transportation and Regional Growth Study

This project focuses on an urban design analysis of transit-supportive development and construction of a subarea transportation model that can capture data at a finer scale than that analyzed in typical transportation models. To test the model across a range of development patterns, the study examines the relationship between urban design and travel behavior in four types of activity areas, at two scales. The project also includes a discussion of findings from a land-use and transportation study that used the subarea model to analyze two growth scenarios—one of which was based on transit-supportive principles—for the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition.
