increase in the share o~f trips made by alternative modes". The Percent of Dwelling Units Built in Nodes m~d Percent Of N~w "Total" Employment in Nodes' measures are both market response measures in that they r~flect the developn~n~ semtor response to the public policies pr°posed for ~1 development. They reflect the benefits coming frt}m changes i~ devei}>pment ~t~;ipatea fbr nodal develOPment. The Very definition of nodal development included in TransPlan states that: Nodal development is a m~ed-use pedestrian-friendly land u~se pattern that seeks to incre~e conCentrations of ~pUlafion ~md ern~loment i~ welt- defmed areas with good transit se~i~e, a mix ofdiv~rs~ and compatible land uses, and public and private improvements designed to be pedestrian and transit oriented. (em)basiS adc[ed) The TransPlan de£mition of nodes and nodal development continues~ stating m part that: Fundamental characteristics of Nodal Development re,_quire: Design elements that support pedestrian environments and encourage mit Use, wang and bicycling; * A transit stOp which is within walk~g distance (generally 1/4 mile) of anywhere in the node; * Mixed uses so that services are available w~thin walldr~g distance These requirements are directly related to increasing the use of alternative modes. ~l~.e nodal development measures and their integration into the overall TransPlan Strategy are the basis for the increase in perCent Non-Auto Tri~s and the Percent Transit Mode Share on Congested Corridors. Noel de elopment ha TransPlan also plays a s~gmficant role m allowmg the regmn s VMT Per caPita tO remain vh-lmlly ed over the plug horizon. _TPR Objective D: ~*~MT per capita is unlikely to increase by more than 5 percent. As indicated in Table 6, VMT per capita in the Eugene-Springfield area is expected to remah~ x4mmlly Unchanged through 2015 (1 percent decrease). : The alternative standard is measurable and reasonably related to achieving the goal q£reduced reliance on the aUtOmobile as described in OAR 660-012-0000. The measurability of each of the performance measures weighed heavily in the MPC subconmuttee s selectmn pro ess. The relatmnstfip of these measures to reduced rehance on the automobile is referenced in the assessment of other objectives. The table below summarizes the measurability of each of the proposed mea~mres. While each measure relies on different dam, the region currently maintains all of the underlying information required tO track these measures. odel relies on current data o~-~e existing transportation system hip, roadway speeds, etc.) and travel behavior data (typically through firnates are as reliable as the model being used. The model ~s most on an updated travel surve2~ and current s_Tstem data. Tra~:~Plan Exhibit A - Page 68 TranSplan Amendments Chapter 4, Page 23
