• Abstract:
  The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) in the Austin, TX region is incorporating ; a new regional growth concept, the Activity Centers for its Long-Range Transportation Plan. The planned ; Activity Centers would present such features as mixed uses, medium to high densities, and pedestrianfriendly ; environmental design, which are expected to influence travel. This study reports the needed local ; empirical evidence of trip making behavior in association with the Activity Centers’ attributes. From ; telephone interviews of local planners and work sessions with experts, the study identifies 42 mixed-use ; districts (MXDs) in the Austin area. In GIS, urban form indicators are derived for the MXDs and trip ; records from the 2005 Austin Activity Travel Survey are geocoded. The following analyses are then carried ; out for the MXD related travel: trip length distribution, trip generation rates and internal rate of capture, ; person miles of travel, vehicle ownership, departure time, and travel mode choice. With the empirical ; results, CAMPO models can be modified or refined to capture the potential effects of the Activity Centers ; growth strategy on regional travel.
