Abstract:This conference was sponsored by the Travel Model Improvement Program.’ There were two principal goals of the conference: to improve understanding of the influence on travel behavior of urban development patterns specifically designed to reduce motor vehicle travel and to assess the-potential for telecommunications, particularly telecommuting, to reduce motor vehicle travel. The conference was charged with identifying what is already known and unknown these effects, what of this knowledge can be applied today for use by Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) and state Department of Transportation (DOT) planners, and what research and development on these subjects is needed to improve today’s urban and transportation planning practices. Deliberations at the conference were organized in three subject tracks each of which addressed several specific questions related to its subject.
