摘要：	In this project, a comprehensive analysis of TODs in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metro areas was performed to investigate if TODs actually can reduce automobile travel and encourage transit use as well as non-motorized modes. The research team modeled vehicle-miles travelled (VMT), trip generation, trip length, and mode share in two case study areas using the most recent local household travel survey data and advanced econometric models. Findings show that people living in TODs overall have lower household VMT, make more trips by all modes of transportation, but make fewer trips by automobiles. Results also show that TOD residents tend to travel shorter distances by all modes of transportation, which implies their selection of closer destinations for their activities. Trips originating from TODs have substantially higher non-auto mode share in both areas after controlling for relevant socioeconomic and demographic factors. The study also finds significant differences in the effectiveness of TODs in these two metropolitan areas due to different TOD locations, transit system availability and level of service, and TOD resident characteristics. The trip generation step of the Maryland Statewide Transportation Model (MSTM) can be modified to incorporate the effect of TODs on a transportation system as a result of this study.
