Smart Growth Transportation Guidelines: An ITE Recommended Practice presents concepts meant to assist transportation and development agencies, planners and designers, developers, elected officials, and others to understand and implement smart growth transportation-related concepts, policies and practices. This report replaces the proposed recommended practice that was published in January 2003 and contains several key updates, including a glossary of terms, reflecting substantial feedback from the transportation planning community. The following five goals are the foundation for the guidelines in the document: * Pursuing compact, efficient land-use patterns to maximize transportation efficiency and improve the neighborhood environment; * Providing multimodal mobility within developed areas; * Providing accessibility within existing built-up areas; * Making the most efficient use of transportation infrastructure; and * Supporting smart growth through pricing and sustainable funding.
