Abstract:

This report is a general examination and critique of transportation policy making, focusing on the role of traffic and land use forecasting. There are four major components: (1) Current, historical, and projected travel behavior in the Twin Cities; (2) The standard travel forecasting model, and some of its shortcoming; (3) The potential application of integrated land use and transportation models; (4) Specific transportation problems and proposed policies in the Twin Cities. The most importation result is that the standard traffic forecasting model in its current form is not well suited for evaluation many of the policies of greatest current interest, in particular, those that seek to reduce the overall amount of travel through changes in land use or travel behavior. This model was developed to predict road capacity needs, taking quantity of travel as more or less uninfluenced by policy.
