Sprawl Busting: State Programs to Guide Growth
Category: Transportation Planning
Just as planners and public officials all over the U.S. are talking about the potential benefits of "smart growth," Jerry Weitz offers this timely look at how state-sponsored land-use planning has fared so far. He traces almost 30 years in the evolution of growth management programs in Oregon, Washington, Georgia, and Florida. He explains how programs are set up, outlines the rules that govern land-use planning, and describes local government experiences. Planners, legislators, and others who design and implement land-use programs will profit from Weitz's thorough analyses and the lessons he distills from the experiences of states that led the way.

Transportation Planning Capacity Building Program - Peer Exchange Report -Land Use Models in Transportation Planning
Location: Tucson, Arizona, March 24-25, 2003. ‘
Exchange Host Agency: Pima Association of Governments
The following report summarizes the results of a Peer Exchange held through the Transportation Planning Capacity Building (TPCB) Program, which is jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Pima Association of Governments (PAG) hosted a one and a half day workshop for eight western metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) to facilitate the exchange of best practices on integrating land use modeling with traditional transportation modeling. The discussion outcomes are being incorporated into a set of guiding principles for PAG to consider as they select and implement a land use model that best suits the needs of the Tucson region.
A primary objective of the Tucson Peer Exchange was to facilitate dialogue among technical experts from strong land use modeling programs. Two critical issues in transportation planning involve creating reliable forecasting of future travel behavior, and understanding the relationships between multi-modal transportation systems and regional development patterns. The Peer Exchange explored which models adequately address these and other critical transportation issues
