Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes. Chapter 1 - Introduction

The "Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook" consists of Chapter 1 introductory materials and 15 stand-alone published topic area chapters. This chapter, Chapter 1, contains the table of contents for all published chapters. The introductory materials are presented in two major sections. The first section places the handbook in context with its origins, the current update, and companion reference documents. Its scope and key research steps are outlined. The second major section provides information in support of informed and effective application of the work. This third edition of the handbook provides comprehensive information on travel demand effects of alternative urban transportation policies, operating approaches and systems, and built environment options, by building upon, expanding, and selectively replacing the earlier editions to provide a contemporary assessment of the experience and insights gained from the application and analysis of various system changes and alternatives. The focus is on aiding transportation, transit, and land use planners in their conduct of travel demand and related analyses, and to inform elected officials, administrators, operators, designers, and the general public as well.
