Tool summary

Name of the tool
Toolbox for Regional Policy Analysis

Description of the tool
The toolbox comprises analytical methods for testing the regional impacts of transportation and land use policies. It has been designed for use by metropolitan planning organisations (MPOs), the U.S. state departments of Transportation (DOTs), and other analysts who wish to asses a range of impacts in regional transportation and/or land use planning. Impacts of interest may include economic development, wetland and habitat impacts, and other social and environment measures associated with transportation investments and land use policies. The toolbox includes techniques ranging from sketch-planning methods and GIS-based analyses to integrated urban models. The toolbox includes two primary components:
(i) a series of case studies of applications of methods;
(ii) a discussion of the various types of impacts and how they relate to each other.
