Presentation To The GSSC Master Plan Implementation Committee October 9, 2012

The document summarizes the use of a regional transportation model to evaluate the transportation impacts of land use scenarios in the Greater Shady Grove Science and Technology Master Plan area. The model examines trip generation, distribution, mode choice and assignment to analyze current and future traffic conditions under different development proposals. It finds that the high development and PHED committee scenarios would achieve a balance of land use and transportation based on mobility and adequacy results. Most workers are projected to still commute from the I-270 corridor in 2030 even with increased density and internal trips.

Regional Transportation Model


Same tool as that used by Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Reflects county-wide and regional traffic effects

Output Policy Area Mobility Review (PAMR) and Transportation Policy Area Review (TPAR) results. Used to evaluate area-wide land use/transportation balance and transportation adequacy.

Regional Model Framework

Regional Model Framework


Trip Generation: How may trips are produced? Trip Distribution: Where are people going?

Mode Choice: What method/mode of travel are people using? Trip Assignment: What route are people taking?
