The Effect of Smart Growth Policies on Travel Demand (*SHRP 2 Prepublication Report)

Greetings!

 

Smart growth policies are often considered by planning agencies as a strategy to reduce congestion, emissions, and other impacts on travel demand. SHRP 2 Project C16 (The Effect of Smart Growth Policies on Travel Demand) developed two products to help practitioners understand how smart growth impacts travel demand: (1) a synthesis of the research, and (2) a user-friendly software tool that can be used to evaluate the impact of smart growth policies on travel demand. The final report includes the synthesis of research and describes the software.

* To make research available as early as possible, SHRP 2 is temporarily posting final reports that have been submitted by the research team, reviewed according to the relevant National Academy of Sciences procedures, and accepted for publication. These prepublication drafts, which have not been edited or formatted for publication, will be replaced by the final versions as they complete the editorial process.
