This report summarizes the work of the CDTC Demographic, Land Use, and Growth Futures Task Force during Phase 2 of New Visions. During Phase 2, the Task Force (1) developed, calibrated and applied a land use pivot model and used the model in testing the impacts of transportation actions, tax policies and other policies on regional settlement patterns, 2) proposed a set of planning and investment principles, which, when adopted in the regional transportation plan, will help in the selection and design of transportation projects, and 3) proposed a set of recommended actions for consideration during Phase 3 of New Visions.
