The Continuing, Comprehensive, and Cooperative (3-C) Transportation Planning Process recently completed an analysis of travel demand likely by the year 1985. The primary conclusion of the analysis is that peak traffic is likely to continue increasing. In many locations, traffic conditions will significantly deteriorate unless actions are taken to reduce the growth in peak vehicluar traffic or to construct and improve highways. Several alternatives could reduce the projected increase in vehicular traffic volumes, The purpose of this report is to determine how effective each alternative would be in reducing traffic demand, fuel consumption and auto emissions. Each alternative was explored independently to provide a thorough understanding of the potential ramifications. The implications of seven alternatives are estimated for the year 1985.
