      <title>Smart Transportation in Portland, Oregon</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751191</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation focuses on how Portland, Oregon, has used public-sector planning to achieve its smart growth goals and on how it is using federal funding to implement those plans.  The needs of Portland's technology-based economy are constantly being balanced with the area's preservation of nature and natural resources.]]></description>

      <title>Development Pattern Trends and Smart Growth</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751131</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation looks at some of the trends that have determined the development pattern within which you put transportation solutions.  It examines the questions:  Where did growth go and why? and What was that growth?  It then looks at some new trends, delving deeper into demographics and looking not only at the short-term trends over the next 5 to 10 years but also at some of the things we know about how people make decisions at different points in their lives, and how that influences where they go in terms of product and location choices.]]></description>

      <title>Land Use and Transportation Interactions</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751134</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation discusses urban sprawl, defined as low density development with segregation of uses, and land use planning, or ways to curb sprawl.  The travel implications of sprawl are examined from two distinct views:  (1) the view of land use and transportation and how the two interact; and (2) the view that the relationship is linear, with household characteristics creating activity patterns, which determine trip rates, lengths, and so forth.]]></description>

      <title>Smart Transportation in the Puget Sound Region</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751172</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation discusses smart growth in the Puget Sound region.  Attention is focused on land use issues in the I-405 corridor, which is about 30 miles long and has about one-half million people living adjacent to it, and on the 405 program, a demonstration program for reinvention of the National Environmental Policy Act process.  One of the key things that must be kept in mind is the Endangered Species Act.  The issue is how to address development in urban areas while improving the habitat for salmon and other threatened species.]]></description>

      <title>Selling "Quality of Life" in Kentucky</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751198</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation discusses how the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet couldn't get to first base in its smart growth proposals because of the mind-set of the citizenry and how approaching the issue from the angle of using the transportation process to improve quality of life seems to be catching on.  Context-sensitive design has been used effectively.  Addressing the environmental justice issue is also being used effectively.]]></description>

      <title>Incentives for Smart Growth in Maryland</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751192</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation provides a brief overview of some of the smart growth issues related to transportation in Maryland.  The importance of interacting in a positive way with elected officials is discussed.  Maryland has succeeded with neighborhood conservation (smart growth) projects by beginning with these projects in rural areas and by promising elected officials and actually delivering these projects within a 4-year election cycle.]]></description>

      <title>Smart Growth and Transportation: Issues and Lessons Learned. Keynote Presentation</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751164</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Stating that smart growth is a long-term commitment in Maryland, the Governor of Maryland gives many examples of such commitment.  He points out the necessity of government policies that encourage investment in existing communities and in smart growth areas.  He also speaks of the private-sector investments in smart growth, and how, together, public and private investments are redeveloping existing communities and expanding mass transit options.  He concludes by answering the fundamental question:  What is our vision of the future?  He offers two competing visions, both for Maryland and for America's future.  One leads to a worsening quality of life, but the other offers a better future--one in which traveling to work or anywhere is affordable and convenient with public transit, where walking on sidewalks and using bicycle-friendly facilities are real options, and in which breathing becomes easier because the air is less polluted.]]></description>

      <title>Examples of Smart Transportation Projects</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751207</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A taxonomy of a smart transportation project includes the following:  incorporates context-sensitive design, accommodates multiple modes, improves pedestrian environments, integrates "new urbanist" principles, is located in brownfield or infill sites, enhances main streets, is integrated with adjacent urban land uses, and reclaims urban land.  This conference presentation identifies and presents best practices in the form of specific smart transportation projects and programs that incorporate one or more of the elements in the above taxonomy.]]></description>

      <title>Hands-On Case Study</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751211</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A case study is presented for a breakout conference session.  The participants will work with the Maryland State Highway Administration to help them meet the challenges of smart growth in a suburban corridor.  The case study is the Maryland 210 corridor located in Prince George's County.  The key issues are how to apply transportation tools to address smart growth issues and how to develop the MD-210 project to be consistent with context-sensitive design principles.]]></description>

      <title>Transportation Trends and Smart Growth</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/751130</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference presentation reviews transportation trends over the past century and concludes that the future is more stable in many respects than the past with lower population growth, lower household growth, lower labor force growth, saturation of driver's licenses, saturation of car ownership, and lower domestic migration trends.  There are "forces of change" that will be operating over the next 25 to 30 years.  The first is the arrival of minority groups and immigrant populations into a high-mobility society.  Second, immigration is still going to be a significant, in fact dramatic, force.  Third, affluence will always be an influence on behavior and activities.  Fourth, there is a lack of skilled workers, and last, technologies are allowing people to live further apart.  The point made as background to all of the conference discussions is this:  if transportation is always about time and distance, in many respects we can say that distance is no longer the massive factor it used to be.  Time is now the driver, particularly on the passenger side and particularly among women, but on the freight side as well.]]></description>
