The Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University conducted this study to review the issues and implications involved in the project in question. The primary objective of this study was to use an advanced integrated land use and transportation model to evaluate transit and supportive land use and pricing policies; the Sacramento MEPLAN model was used to simulate these policies. The model represents the effect of changes in the transportation system on land use. If the land use and transportation interaction is not represented, then the analysis of transit and highway alternatives may be biased. For example, if the land used included travel effect is not represented in a transit alternative, then vehicle miles traveled (VMT), congestion, and emissions may be overestimated and VMT, congestion, and emissions may be underestimated in a highway alternative. Moreover, the more comprehensive representation of included travel effects in the Sacramento MEPLAN model increases sensitivity to policies such as transit, land use measures, and pricing policies. The major findings for this case study in the Sacramento region are: (1) The induced travel effects of changes in land use and trip distribution may be critical to accurate evaluation of transit and highway alternatives; (2) Integrated land use and transportation models can provide important policy in sights; Land use intensification measures accompanied by supportive transit and/or pricing policies can produce comparatively large reductions in VMT and vehicle emissions.
