Summary: This webinar covers different approaches to scenario planning as well as which tools are available and appropriate to support various approaches. Examples illustrate both approaches and tools. State and MPO transportation planners will learn how to use scenario planning to fit their situation and will acquire a framework for selecting tools to support their needs.

Uri Avin FAICP is at the National Center for Smart Growth at the University of Maryland. He has practiced, taught and published on scenario planning and tools for three decades, most recently the NCHRP Report Sketch Tools for Regional Sustainability Scenario Planning.

This webinar was co-sponosred by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the Treasure Coast Section of the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association, the Transit Oriented Development Institute and the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions at Florida Atlantic University.

Summary:

This webinar provides an introduction to and overview of key databases, tools and methods to support multimodal transportation planning and sustainable community design. EPA and Renaissance share work they have done together in developing the Smart Location Database (SLD), from which EPA has developed various applications to support sustainable land use planning and facility siting. Renaissance then discuss various ways in which they are using the SLD and related accessibility-based methods in state and regional planning and project selection applications. This is an applications oriented presentation, emphasizing examples over theory.
