Policy makers in many urban areas have begun to embrace the principles of transit-oriented development as a means to create more livable communities and of light rail transit as a means to address congestion and air-quality problems. A policy-oriented screening tool for applying rigorous technical analyses to transit-oriented development policies to give decision makers meaningful information about a wide range of potential land-use, transit service and financing, and parking management policies is described. The decision support tool (DST) uses a simplified version of the regional travel forecasting model and includes an air-quality analysis module. The DST was validated to the Memphis regional travel forecasting model, and enhancements were incorporated for studying the effects of specific land-use, transit, and parking-policy assumptions. DST provides policy-related output data such as percentage of development in the corridor; transit ridership; annual transit operating cost, revenue, deficit, and cost recovery ratio; annual transit capital cost; and air-quality benefits. A sample application of the model for the Poplar Corridor in Memphis, Tennessee, is presented.
