    Land-Use Transport

    Interaction
    Land-use Transport Interaction

    The connection between transportation and land use is fundamental concept in


    transportation. Everything happens to land use has transportation implications
    and every transportation affects land use.

    Government departments of transportation helps shape land use by providing


    infrastructure to improve ACCESSIBILITY and MOBILITY.

    Accessibility can be measured by the number of travel opportunities or


    destinations within a particular radius.

    Mobility is a measure of the ability to move efficiently between origins and its
    destination.
    Effects of Transportation on Land
    Development

    1. State DOTs influence land development


    through providing infrastructure and
    through transportation-related regulation.

    2. Transportation most significant impact to


    land development occurs when access is
    provided to land. Increased in access to
    land raises its potential for development,
    more development generates additional
    travel.
    Factors Influencing Land-Use

    1. Overall Population
    2. Economic Growth
    3. Individual Preferences
    4. Life Style Choices
    5. Infrastructure
    6. Changing Technology
    7. Local Planning and Zoning policies
    8. Geographic and topographic conditions.
    State Roles in Land Use
    Activities
    State Roles can be defined along a continuum
    from active to passive in the following
    categories:
    • Land Use/Transportation Planning
    Requirement
    • State Land Use Planning Capabilities
    • Educational/Technical Assistance
    • Access Management
    • Land Use Controls
    • Economic Development
    Land Use/Transportation Planning
    Requirements
    At the passive end, state fund regional and local
    level planning and leave the decision making
    entirely to local jurisdictions. The option to do
    planning and how it is done is left to the local
    agencies. In passive approach would require the
    planning to take place with the approval of local
    agencies. And in active approach, planning and
    strategy would require that land use decisions
    must have state approval and certification.
    State Land Use Planning Capabilities
    The DOT can provide a range of capabilities to assist
    local agencies, depending on how involved it wants to be
    in planning process.
    The state assists the local municipalities in making
    transportation and economic decision by providing them
    with information such as vehicle travel data.
    Educational and Technical Assistance
    State participation in education and technical assistance
    can take many forms. At the passive end , states only
    react to local request for assistance. A more active state
    participation would include formulating state guidelines,
    convening oversight committees, providing conferences,
    holding training sessions, issuing newsletter, organizing a
    hotline or web site, and providing public education. In the
    more active level of participation, the state would provide
    one to one assistance to local government for the
    analysis of the land use implications of transportation
    decisions.
    Access Management
    Is a systematic approach in providing appropriate access to land
    development on highways. The state has developed as Access
    Management System Plan to indicate the network of state
    highways on which access shall be controlled. This System plan
    aims to maintain safety on the selected highways by regulating
    traffic flow through access management.
    Land Use Controls
    Initiatives by a state encompass a broad range from
    simply including a topic in transportation plans or
    environmental impact statements to completely
    controlling land use.

    Economic Development
    Spans a range of activities that includes project
    design assistance to local business, state
    infrastructure banks, funding programs to promote
    basic employment opportunities, industrial roads
    and provision of road facilities by the state for
    developments that generates both basic and non-
    basic employment.
