Linking Transportation and Land Use

TRB's 100th E-Circular: Linking Transportation and Land Use explores the results from the Land Use Peer Exchange during the summer meeting of the TRB Ports, Waterways, Freight, and International Trade Conference and the Joint Meeting of the TRB Planning, Data, Finance, Administration, Freight, and Management Committees in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 12–13, 2005.

The purpose of the peer exchange was to facilitate an open exchange of information on experiences, successes, new activities, obstacles, and concerns, and topics that need further research. The report includes descriptions of ongoing land use activities; identification of the types of activities in which agencies have been successful; identification of new activities that these agencies may be interested in pursuing in the near future; and identification of obstacles to the successful coordination of land use and transportation activities.
