52 The use of technology contributed to the success of many of the case studies examined -- most notably, as a tool to foster collaboration and integrate land-use and transportation planning. A key focus of the eight in-depth solution screening case studies was the use of technology to support solution screening.

53 The combination of Internet and GIS technologies in the EST allows multiple parties to simultaneously view and process large amounts of information about a project, its context, and potential effects in a much more efficient and timely manner. The EST contains GIS data for each of the 23 resource and regulatory agencies participating in the ETDM Process.

57 Travel Model is software that determines trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and trip assignments from a source of population distribution and employment information. Trip-based models typically represent each trip -- such as an employee's trip from home to work or from work to home -- so that projected demands on a transportation network can be estimated.

61 • Land-use and transportation modeling integration can be limited. While a few successful examples of integrated modeling were found, most involved taking the outputs from a landuse model and feeding them into a transportation model, thus cutting off the possibility of exploring feedback and secondary interactions between the two areas.
