| Abstract |
EPA modeled the transportation and environmental impacts of locating the same development on two sites--one infill, and one suburban edge/greenfield--and compared the results. This analysis was conducted in three regions: San Diego, California; Montgomery County, Maryland; and West Palm Beach, Florida. For each site pair, modeling predicted that the infill site would outperform the greenfield site in six important dimensions: average trip distance: generally shorter with the infill site; per capita vehicle miles traveled: generally fewer with the infill site; travel time: generally shorter with the infill site; public infrastructure and household travel costs: lower with the infill site; environmental impacts, including emissions: smaller with the infill site, and multi-modal orientation, and access to community amenities and transportation choices: greater at the infill site. These case studies suggest that identifying public benefits from infill does not require using a particular level of travel model sophistication. The transportation effects of even moderately sized alternative development patterns were not so subtle that one needs a highly sophisticated model to identify them. |
