Transportation and Land Use Planning for Quality Growth
![Page 3: Quality Growth Toolbox Transportation & Land Use](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d82f4b4c905390c8b510a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Linking land use and transportation planning can provide an integrated framework to guide growth and development
![Page 4: Quality Growth Toolbox Transportation & Land Use](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d82f4b4c905390c8b510a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Regional traffic currently relies primarily on interstate travel
• Total miles traveled are continuing to increase
• Increasing congestion is beginning to affect the livability and desirability of communities
Nashville MPO Counties

A collaborative effort in developing land use plans and supporting transportation systems will result in:
• Improved community livability• More efficient use of the existing
infrastructure• Improved economic vitality• Sustainability• Improved health

Density – the intensity of development – influences travel by:
• Concentrating people and services in limited area near transportation
• Increased demand makes alternative modes more cost effective
• Increase pedestrian, bicycle and transit systems
• Lower auto ownership, fewer and shorter vehicle trips
Relationship Between Land Use and Transportation – Density, Diversity & Design
![Page 7: Quality Growth Toolbox Transportation & Land Use](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070314/554d82f4b4c905390c8b510a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Diversity – the mix of different types of land uses – influences travel by:
• Concentrating different land uses in close proximity
• Jobs, services, recreation, schools and everyday needs within shorter travel distances
• Promotes trip linking and on-site capture of trips
• Place making

Design – the design and pattern of the built environment – influences travel by:
• Creates attractive, comfortable and secure pedestrian environments
• Creates places that attract people who linger and drive less
• Results in well-connected transportation systems
• Creates visual interest and encourages walking

Example: Corridor Planning in the Nashville Area MPO NE Corridor
• High growth corridor• Solutions go beyond responding to
unconstrained development growth• Major Investment Study integrates land
use and transportation• Evaluates series of development
patterns• Identifies transportation system to best
fit the desired land use pattern• Balance between:
– Effective land use patterns– Highway / roadway capacity– High-performance transit
• Results in local land use policies to implement land use patterns
• Example where all toolbox strategies and tools can be utilized
