ASSESSING THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF TRANSPORTATION AND LAND DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS

This paper demonstrates the use of the transyt model in assessing the traffic impacts of transportation and land development scenarios. Using the downtown area of the city of Berkeley as a case example, the effects of overall traffic growth, project-specific traffic increases, alternative parking policies, tsm programs, and street and intersection design changes are explored. The results show that once transyt is calibrated for an area, it can be applied relatively quickly and inexpensively as a sketch-planning tool. (a) (Author/TRRL)
