Transportation Corridor Strategies and Land Use
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 1
Abstract
Freeway corridor transportation strategies depend, in large part, on the basic land‐use/transportation relationships within a corridor. Since freeway corridors cross through urban areas with different land‐use patterns, strategies for transportation system design and operation in these corridors are also different. This applies to corridor transit services as well as freeways. Strategic objectives should be mobility for corridor users and accessibility for development sites in the corridors. Three corridor strategies are studied which seek to maintain or improve transportation capacity and support development. Landuse controls using zoning and parking regulations are proposed to encourage ride sharing and reduce automobile trips to a major development site. A new interstate is to be built with high‐occupancy vehicle lanes. Rapid transit alternatives are proposed to help meet projected freeway capacity deficiencies and increase land redevelopment potential. Each strategy is compatible with corridor land‐use conditions. Each seeks to be consistent with regional policies encouraging intensification of development and emphasizing “people movement” instead of “vehicle movement” in developed corridors.
