Abstract:In the early 1990s, the federal government was interested in integrating land use, transportation, economics and environmental issues. The Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) were enacted to encourage local and state agencies to do a better job of integrating land use and transportation decisions. ODOT embarked upon a comprehensive Oregon Modeling Improvement Program (OMIP) in 1994. OMIP was developed to consider how to meet the new rules and regulations. This report provides an overview of the Oregon Modeling Improvement Program (OMIP). It incorporates sections of the document Transportation and Land Use Model Integration Program: Overview of the First Generation Models prepared for the Federal Highway Administration in August 2002. The two primary modeling levels in Oregon are at the local and statewide levels. At the local level, ODOT or the MPOs provide modeling for their area while ODOT provides modeling for non-MPO areas. OMIP addresses the need for improved and integrated models at all levels throughout Oregon and several model improvements have been developed. 8 Figures, 5 tables, 3 appendices, 71 p.
