Presentation Title

Innovations in Transportation Impact Analysis

Presentation Abstract

Over the past decade, there has been a renaissance in the data and methods used to evaluate the transportation impacts of land development. In this presentation, we provide an overview of transportation impact analyses and discuss some major innovations in the underlying data and methods, including: multimodal travel demand estimation; paradigm shifts in expanding the definition of “vehicle impacts”; and understanding the influence of oversupplying parking on increased vehicle demand.
