• Abstract:
  States and communities across the country are actively pursuing smart growth strategies. New transit ; lines are opening to higher ridership than expected. States and communities have passed hundreds of ; ballot initiatives preserving open space, increasing development around transit, and providing for ; increased redevelopment of abandoned brownfield sites. Through such strategies, smart growth -- ; defined as development that serves the economy, community, and the environment -- can help ; communities meet national environmental standards by reducing motor vehicle emissions, improving ; water quality, and cleaning up and reusing land that is contaminated (or suspected of being contaminated) ; from former uses. ; This report, Comparing Methodologies to Assess Transportation and Air Quality Impacts of Brownfields ; and Infill Development, is a companion piece to recent EPA policy guidance, titled EPA Guidance: ; Improving Air Quality Through Land Use Activities (EPA 420-R-01-001; January 2001). The primary ; audiences of both this report and EPA’s guidance document include managers and staff in state and local ; air quality agencies, regional transportation planning agencies, and state departments of transportation – ; people responsible for air quality and transportation planning. Others, including citizens and community ; organizations, may also be interested in the ideas, policies, and technical issues presented in these two ; companion reports.
