Abstract: The coordination and integration of transportation and land use (also known as “smart growth”) has been a long-standing goal for planning and engineering professionals, but to this day remains an elusive concept to realize. As this approach is a widely recognized as key to achieving sustainable, livable, and equitable (SLE) outcomes for individuals and society, a key aim of this report is to instill the coordination of transportation and land use into practice by the collection of key actors and agents (MPOs, DOTs, and local land use authorities, etc.) through new measurement and policy guidance frameworks and tools. A fundamental assumption of this report is that frameworks are needed first to help guide the use of tools to measure and understand urban quality, and then inform policy decisions toward realizing SLE outcomes. Along these lines, this report provides a review of current literature and practice related to measuring and understanding the integration of transportation and land use through the lenses of sustainability, livability, and equity (SLE), specifically focusing on efforts to operationalize the Livability Principles of the 2009 HUD/DOT/EPA Partnership for Sustainable Communities and Caltrans’ Smart Mobility Framework. Specifically, this report . . .
