This report describes how an advanced integrated land use and transportation model (the Sacramento MEPLAN) was used to evaluate transit and supportive land use and pricing policies. The model represents the effect that the transportation system has on land use. The interaction of land use and transportation needs to be represented. Otherwise, there may be a biased analysis of transit and highway alternatives. The Sacramento MEPLAN features a more comprehensive representation of induced travel effects, thus increasing sensitivity to policies such as transit, land use measures and pricing policies.
