Abstract:This research analyzes both the need and mechanisms for integrating livability components such as
transit and active transportation into a broader mega-regions transportation framework. The research
builds a conceptual framework for understanding how transportation livability concepts fit within the
larger mega-regions literature. This framework based around the study of regional green infrastructure
greenbelt systems is then used to analyze key strategies that could be integrated into the larger Gulf
Coast/Texas mega-region transportation planning framework through analysis of three case studies in
greater Houston, Austin/San Antonio, and New Orleans/Baton Rouge regions. Major existing and
emerging opportunities to tie infrastructure into a mega-region transportation system are identified in
these three case studies.
