摘要：	In Florida, the transportation demand modeling process is done through the Cube software, following the statewide modeling system (The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure or FSUTMS). Other states and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are exploring the use of land use models in this process. The University of Florida, at the request of Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) administered a survey regarding the needs of land use and transportation modeling. This research seeks to better understand current land use models, modeling practices and future needs in Florida. The research was part of a greater project on Land Use Modeling with the University of Florida and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). An open-ended and multiple choice survey was administered online to current FDOT and MPO modelers. The responses were then analyzed and future needs examined. Survey results show that 95 percent of surveyed Florida DOT and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) modeling coordinators see the need of an integrated land use and transportation model in Florida and would like to see Florida DOT to take a lead to develop such models. The survey also indicated that most DOT and MPO coordinators are willing to participate in the development of such a model in land use modeling advisory committee or in a land use modeling pilot project. Furthermore, the survey participants further suggested what features should be included in the model such as sensitive to the interaction of land use and transportation, GIS-based, being able to estimate the impacts of transit oriented development (TOD) on land use, the impacts of land use on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, and to forecast land use changes at the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) level, as well as user friendly interface and training programs. The survey supports previous inquiries as to the state of modeling in Florida. The need to integrate a land use model into the current transporta
