INDEX Modeling• Computer modeling to measure impact of land use
changes identified in LCI plans
• Measures existing development vs. LCI plan build-out
• INDEX software used with indicators focusing on 4 Ds: – Density = percent change in pop/emp per sq mile– Diversity = how diverse the study area is
compared to the region– Design = how complete the sidewalks and density
of the street network– Destinations = how accessible the study area is to
the region

Regional Travel Demand
•Travel demand:–Varies by
corridor–Varies within
corridors
•Demand signals appropriate service levels and transit modes for corridors
![Page 25: Atlanta Regional Commission Tom Weyandt, Department Director Comprehensive Planning May 2008](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032606/56812e4f550346895d93eb94/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Activity center focused
• Expanded rail network to provide reliable travel times
• Extensive BRT, express and intercity bus network
• Cross region connectivity
• Expanded local bus and activity center circulators
• Truly multi-modal
