INTRODUCTION

LAND USE: Land use means the humans use of

land that includes how humans are using land for

e.g. agriculture, residential, commercial, industrial

development etc.

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING: It involves the

planning required to provide necessary

transportation facilities to society/community.

(generally streets, highways, footpaths and public

transport lines)

ISSUE

The major issue with the land use is that the

migration of population form rural to urban which

changed the usage of land.

This developed a need of creating transportation

facilities such as roads, driveway access points,

sidewalks, and bike routes etc.

These facilities are the result of land use decisions

LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION CYCLE

Land use change

Increased traffic

generation

Increasing traffic

conflicts

Level of service

Improvement in

service

Increase land value

POLICY FOR INTEGRATING LAND USE WITH

TRANSPORTATION

Nodal Development/Zoning concentrates

development (e.g., creating a village) to encourage

walking or bicycle use so that land between nodes

can be used for low density, low traffic land uses.

Livable Walkable Communities are municipalities

that provide facilities to promote walking, bicycling,

services, and activities that promote a healthier

lifestyle.

Access Management is the ability to control the

number and location of access points to a property.

RESULT OF INTEGRATING THE POLICIES

Adopting these strategies in Planning activity as

land use and transportation policies and in Zoning

as development standards, and implementing them

will significantly Improve the outputs.

BENIFITS

Provide a greater choice of travel modes

Distributing goods and services more efficiently

Improving road safety

Reducing the environmental impacts of the

transport system

Creating more attractive and lively urban and

suburban centers

CONCLUSION

Land use decisions directly impact the transportation

system and facilities in the region. Land use

generates vehicle trips leading to traffic congestion

and costly roadway capacity improvements.

To achieve sustainable development, planning

decision-makers should adopt and implement Master

Plan of land use and transportation policies and

implementation strategies should promote

Nodal Development / Zoning

Livable Walkable Communities

Access Management
