Abstract:

This paper tries to answer the question of which site provides more efficient or better transportation services to a new residential or commercial development - an urban infill site or a suburban edge/greenfield? In order to answer this question, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) modeled the impacts of the location of a given development (one suburban edge/greenfield and one infill) and compared the results from the model. This was undertaken in three areas of the country: Montgomery County, Maryland; West Palm Beach, Florida; and San Diego, California. Travel costs, transportation system performance, and transportation emissions were examined for each site. Across the board, results indicated that the urban infill site would perform better than the suburban edge/greenfield.
