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.
