Application

Analysis Approach

Once the land use model was developed and calibrated against baseline forecasts, CDTC took the following approach to analyzing alternative transportation and land use scenarios:

1. Define future scenarios/conditions;
2. Run the land use model under 2015 "committed" travel conditions to determine the change in growth distribution under congested conditions;
3. Run the land use model under 2015 "committed" travel conditions, in combination with other policy scenarios, to determine the impacts of each scenario; and
4. For each resulting 2015 land use scenario, re-run the travel model to identify the impacts on transportation conditions.
