This model is an essential component of the land use- <br /> transportation integration. It produces reasonable future land use <br /> scenarios given current plans and policies and the constrained amounts of <br /> developable land, but it cannot address broader policy questions, such as <br /> the effects of UGB changes on land prices or housing costs, nor does it <br /> - adequately consider the potential for redevelopment and infill. A <br /> replacement is needed to investigate alternative growth scenarios and to <br /> incorporate economic considerations into land use changes over time. <br /> Tasks Year 1 <br /> ¦ Select a model that considers land markets and works iteratively with the <br /> travel model to reflect the effects of accessibility. <br /> ¦ Define and develop input data requirements, identify gaps and interim and <br /> .long range solutions to fill these gaps. This may require purchase of <br /> commercial data bases, for example.. <br /> ¦ Specify and estimate the submodels. <br /> ¦ Interface to the travel model to include accessibilities. <br /> ¦ Test, review, calibrate. Modify model as needed. <br /> ¦ Complete testing and validation. <br /> ¦ .Conduct staff training during entire project. <br /> Products Year 1 <br /> ? User documents <br /> O Report on testing and validation results <br /> ? Calibrated land use model interfaced to the MPO travel model. <br /> Tasks Year 2 <br /> ¦ Develop display, reporting tools and performance indices. <br /> ¦ Perform longitudinal validation tests. <br /> ¦ Coordinate with partners and implement alternative scenarios <br /> Products Year 2 <br /> ? Calibrated base year 2008 land use model integrated with travel model <br /> ? User documentation and implementation report <br /> ? Other reports as needed <br /> 2. Employment Data and Trend Analysis <br /> The location of employers, the number of employees and the type of <br /> activity at each employment site are essential inputs: to travel models. <br /> The covered employment data file from the Oregon Employment <br /> Department has. been the foundational data set for many years.. After its <br /> release at the end of the calendar year, it is processed to provide the <br /> <br /> Central Lane MPO Unified Planning Work Program FY 2010 and 2011 <br /> <br />
