Examples of Smart Transportation Projects

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.
