Summary

Boarnet, Marlon G. and Sharon Sarmiento (1998). Can Land-use Policy Really Affect Travel Behavior? A Study of the Link between Non-work Travel and Land-use Characteristics. Urban Studies, Vol. 35 No. 7.

Tests the hypothesis that land use patterns affect non-work trip generation rates using a regression analysis, using travel diary data for southern California.

Cambridge Systematics, with Hague Consulting Group; Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Calthorpe Associates (1991, 1993). Making the Land Use Transportation Air Quality Connection: Modeling Practices (Vol. 1); Model Modifications: The Pedestrian Environment (Vol. 4A). 1,000 Friends of Oregon. Internet: http://www.teleport.com/~friends/index.html

Describes modeling of alternative development and land use patterns using regional travel demand models.

Cervero, Robert (1989). Jobs-Housing Balancing and Regional Mobility. Journal of the American Planning Association, Vol. 55 (Spring 1989): 136-150.

Examines impacts of spatial mismatch of jobs and affordable housing in the suburbs on sprawl, con-gestion, air pollution, and energy depletion.

Cervero, Robert and Carolyn Radisch (1996). Travel Choice in Pedestrian Versus Automobile-Oriented Neighborhoods. Transport Policy Vol. 3, No. 3.
