• Why?• How can we accomplish it?• What resources are available?• How can we best spend these resources?• How do we measure our success?
Transportation’s Role in Growing Cooler
In order to develop a role, the following questions should be answered:
![Page 4: Growing Cooler in New Jersey](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816093550346895dcfb9a3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Developing the role requires an understanding of the inter-relationship between:
• Transportation demand• Congestion cycles• Dynamics of transportation and
land use changes• Transportation & land use

The Vicious Circle of Congestion
Congestion
New capacity
Number of movements increases
Average length of movements increases
Public pressure to increase capacity
Movements are more easySprawl is
favored

Are we fixing the problem with the right tools?
Some unanswered questions:
Our answers will shape our approach and RESULTS
• Can land use changes alone reduce VMT fast enough?
• Is VMT reduction the solution to “growing cooler” or “zero-emission” vehicles?
• How does NJ deal with the millions of suburban residents living in “sprawl” conditions?
• Is transit viable in disparate development?
•Can “in –fill” development stop sprawl?

What’s Missing?
• Alignment of Interests– We have not developed a spirit of cooperation
between interest groups, e.g. environmentalists and DOT’s, business and government
• Education– Business Leaders– Local / regional planning boards / Officials– Governors / DOT’s– Colleges / Universities
• Communication– Removing the mystique– Speaking in Plain English
• Tools– Local officials have no tools to engage DOT’s /
developers, or the public. Do they have the tools they need? Have anyone asked?
