Abstract:Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) have become increasingly interested in
incorporating innovated land use planning and design into transportation plan-making. Many
design ideas are recommended under the umbrella of the New Urbanism; yet in practice they
hardly get fully implemented in the standard transportation planning procedures. The project
includes two parts. Part one refines the analysis of trip generation as it relates to mixed use
development (MXD), with a focus on trip-chaining behavior, an approach taken by CAMPO.
Part two looks into the potential of and challenges facing land use intervention as an emission
reduction tool. Through the Austin case study, it investigates the regional and local distributional
effects of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and Green House Gas (GHG) emission changes
pertaining to recommended land use and design innovations
