Abstract

Spatial allocation of households and regional employment are the most significant data inputs in land use forecasting development and transportation modeling. Therefore obtaining and validating socioeconomic data and forecasts are becoming crucial tasks for any planning organization that wants to utilize land use forecasting models as planning analysis tool. This paper presents the results of an ongoing research investigating the application of an integrated transport land use model in small and medium sized metropolitan planning organizations. To this purpose it uses FHWA’s freely available Transportation Economic Land Use Model for Ada and Canyon counties of Boise, ID. The paper concludes with the strengths and limitations of the model in the context of data requirements and calibration process.
