Access to Destinations: Parcel Level Land Use Data Acquisition and Analysis for Measuring Non-Auto Accessibility

Status: Complete
Report Date: 07/01/2008

Summary:

The goal of this Parcel Level Land Use project was to develop a detailed dataset of land use in the seven-county metro area that includes destinations influenced by all modes of transportation: auto, transit, walking, and bicycling. The resulting geographic information system (GIS) reliably represents the types of land use activities that people travel to at the neighborhood and regional levels of analysis. This dataset will serve as the second component for accessibility calculations in the Access to Destinations Initiative.
