LUCI: Land Use in Central Indiana
• Model to predict future patterns of urban development for the Central Indiana region
• Purpose not to produce “best” forecast but alternative scenarios
• Scenarios reflect policy choices, including restrictions on development, utility expansion
• Scenarios reflect alternative assumptions for future development, including population growth, density and accessibility preferences
LUCI/T Model
• Created for CISTMS land use analysis
• Restricted to nine-county area (from original 44 counties)
• Uses travel time* rather than distance for employment accessibility
• Uses traffic analysis zone employment data*
*From regional travel simulation model

Possible Reasons for Small Differences
• The existing base of county to county commuting trips is limited.
• Urban development Fringe does not reach outer belt alignment (even in 2040).
• Households have better employment access at edge of urban fringe than from outer belt.
• Major travel time benefits between locations along outer belt, not to and from existing activity centers.

Literature Review – Beltways and Land Use
Land use impacts relate to beltway function Employment location more important than
road (beltway) location Land use affected by commuting “time budget” Development influenced by proximity of
beltway to urban “edge” Many factors besides transportation determine
patterns of growth and sprawl

Conclusions – Urban Sprawl & Beltways
1. Urban growth, economic expansion and the trend of decentralized development prompts urban sprawl concerns nationwide
2. Research is inconclusive regarding direct relationship of outer belts with urban sprawl
3. Beltways (and all freeways) impact the location of development, but its character and intensity is influenced by land use planning and zoning

Conclusions – Urban Sprawl and Planning
1. Land Use Planning and early zoning is key to orderly growth and development
2. Local planning is key since land use policies are determined locally
3. Inter-jurisdictional participation is a necessity
“Transportation objectives are regional, but land use impacts are local.”
