Book Description
Despite its historical significance and its state-mandated comprehensive planning approach, the Florida growth management experiment has received only piecemeal attention from researchers. Drawing together contributions from national experts on land use planning and growth management, this volume assesses the outcomes of Florida‘s approach for managing growth. As Florida‘s approach is the most detailed system for managing growth in the United States, this book will be of great value to planners. The strengths and weaknesses of the state‘s approach are identified, providing insights into how to manage land use change in a state continuously inundated by growth. In evaluating the successes and failures of the Florida approach, planners and policy makers will gain insights into how to successfully implement growth management policies at both the state and local level.
Disrupting Mobility
Author: Gereon MeyerPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319516027
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This book explores the opportunities and challenges of the sharing economy and innovative transportation technologies with regard to urban mobility. Written by government experts, social scientists, technologists and city planners from North America, Europe and Australia, the papers in this book address the impacts of demographic, societal and economic trends and the fundamental changes arising from the increasing automation and connectivity of vehicles, smart communication technologies, multimodal transit services, and urban design. The book is based on the Disrupting Mobility Summit held in Cambridge, MA (USA) in November 2015, organized by the City Science Initiative at MIT Media Lab, the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at the University of California at Berkeley, the LSE Cities at the London School of Economics and Politics and the Innovation Center for Mobility and Societal Change in Berlin.
Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning
Author: Reid EwingPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351211323
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Planning at a metropolitan scale is important for effective management of urban growth, transportation systems, air quality, and watershed and green-spaces. It is fundamental to efforts to promote social justice and equity. Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning shows how the most innovative metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the United States are addressing these issues using their mandates to improve transportation networks while pursuing emerging sustainability goals at the same time. As both a policy analysis and a practical how-to guide, this book presents cutting-edge original research on the role accessibility plays - and should play - in transportation planning, tracks how existing plans have sought to balance competing priorities using scenario planning and other strategies, assesses the results of various efforts to reduce automobile dependence in cities, and explains how to make planning documents more powerful and effective. In highlighting the most innovative practices implemented by MPOs, regional planning councils, city and county planning departments and state departments of transportation, this book aims to influence other planning organizations, as well as influence federal and state policy discussions and legislation.
Multimodal Level of Service Analysis for Urban Streets

Book Description
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 616: Multimodal Level of Service Analysis for Urban Streets explores a method for assessing how well an urban street serves the needs of all of its users. The method for evaluating the multimodal level of service (MMLOS) estimates the auto, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian level of service on an urban street using a combination of readily available data and data normally gathered by an agency to assess auto and transit level of service. The MMLOS user's guide was published as NCHRP Web-Only Document 128"--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Level of service is a way of measuring how well a transportation facility serves its users. For the driver of a motor vehicle, level of service is most dependent on the congestion and delay characteristics of a roadway. However, for other transportation users -- such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders -- factors outside of congestion are often more important to the level of service that a facility provides. Multimodal level of service measurement methodologies, which focus largely on non-automobile modes, have garnered increased attention and research efforts within the past few decades, and a number of qualitative and quantitative methodologies are now available. These multimodal level of service projects and methodologies are part of a larger movement in transportation planning and engineering to build a more multimodal, less car-dependent transportation system, particularly in the United States. This thesis expands on recent multimodal level of service research by developing and testing a new multimodal level of service methodology specifically tailored to suburban areas. Through literature research, public participation, and field and remote data collection, the new multimodal LOS methodology was tested in two cases studies conducted in Newark, Delaware and Elkton, Maryland. The methodology resulting from this project presents a valid and detail-level measurement tool for multimodal level of service.
