Integrated Urban Models for Simulation of Transit and Land Use Policies: Guidelines for Implementation and Use

TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Report (TCRP) Report 48: Integrated Urban Models for Simulation of Transit and Land Use Policies: Guidelines for Implemention and Use describe how transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and state DOTs can act today to initiate or expand their analytical tools for integrated land use-transportation planning. The Guidelines are intended for the general reader having an interest in the effects of transit on land use. The Guidelines describe currently available integrated models, the characteristics of an "ideal" integrated model, and steps that a planning organization should take in order to support and expand such modeling capability.
