Impact of Various Land Use Strategies on Suburban Mobility
This is a report on a study of the interaction between suburban land use trends and regional traffic conditions. Three different models of high density, mixed-use centers designed to fit in the Middlesex Somerset Mecer Region of New Jersey were developed. The three models examined - transit construct, short drive construct, and walking construct -- placed residents' homes closer to their working and shopping destinations. The models incorporated residential and employment growth expected in the region by 2010, but reshaped the growth into different land use configurations. The projected growth was located in the cities and in a small number of newly created suburban centers instead of in low density developments spread throughout the region. Based on the study it is concluded that concentrating new suburban development into higher density, mixed-use centers will slow the growth of regional vehicular use.
