TRB Special Report 298: Driving and the Built Environment: Effects of Compact Development on Motorized Travel, Energy Use, and CO2 Emissions examines the relationship between land development patterns and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the United States to assess whether petroleum use, and by extension greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, could be reduced by changes in the design of development patterns. The report estimates the contributions that changes in residential and mixed-use development patterns and transit investments could make in reducing VMT by 2030 and 2050, and the impact this could have in meeting future transportation-related GHG reduction goals.

The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program was enacted as part of the surface transportation legislation. This work recommends that Congress retain the sole federal surface transportation program that funds projects to reduce pollution and traffic congestion in areas that must comply with national air quality standards.

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.
