This document describes the Model Development Plan (MDP) for a multimodal transportation environmental analysis tool. The MDP only addresses transportation sources. Considerations for other sources will only be included as needed for the transportation analysis and these efforts will be considered secondary. The overall goal of the proposed tool is to provide a capability to perform an environmental analysis consisting of noise, air quality, climate and economics of all modes of transport for various geographic scales (microscale, regional, national, and global). The proposed tool will streamline transportation-related environmental analyses by minimizing the redundant input currently required to exercise modal-specific tools, e.g., traffic, performance, etc. It will also facilitate a systems approach to transportation-related environmental analyses for air quality, climate, and noise. Additional modules on fuel burn and economic analysis will allow analysis to be more comprehensive. Inclusion of environmental cost/benefit capabilities will allow transportation planners to make more informed decisions on transportation-related projects. The purpose of the MDP is to define the work needed to develop a multimodal transportation environmental analysis tool. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park. and John A.
