In the short term, increased highway capacity may change route choice, the time of day trips are made, mode choice, trip frequency, trip chaining, and destination choice. The long term affects maybe on auto ownership, residential and workplace locations, and land developments patterns. This study was designed to study these long and short term effects in California. It uses historical case studies, travel and economics theory, and a survey of household travel behavior. The study found that increased highway capacity leading to five minutes or more time saving does cause increased trips and vehicle miles travelled. It recommends that transportation demand management models be augmented to account for the short and long term effects.
