Smart Growth is an integrated, environmentally-sensitive approach to land use and transportation planning. Smart Growth transportation strategies include:

• Transit enhancements and transit-oriented development (TOD)
• Visionary community and regional policies and land use plans that reduce the need to travel and minimize impacts.
• Streets that provide context-sensitive, multi-modal mobility for traffic, transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

This website describes leading-edge methods for evaluating Smart Growth policies and plans. The presentation techniques, effectiveness measures
and case studies are intended to inform decision-makers and community members about the transportation effects of Smart Growth, and to help planners devise Smart Growth plans that improve mobility and measurably reduce transportation impacts.
