This paper summarizes an innovative long-range land use and transportation planning effort and the associated modeling tools used to explore (and partly to encourage) a more multi-modal future in the Sacramento region. The Sacramento case study centers on an innovative, three-stage approach to ridership forecasts for a proposed extension of Sacramento’s light rail system into suburban jurisdictions. The study and the tools it devised build upon land use plans and transportation planning databases and tools developed for the regional planning project sponsored by an alliance citizen groups and the regional planning agency, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG); this project is known as the Sacramento Blueprint.
