How will we address uncertainty related to climate change impacts (esp cumulative impacts) in environmental impact analysis, planning, policy, etc.?
How can energy and environmental modeling be linked to support decisionmaking aimed at energy efficiency for different scales, state plans, MPO plans, and project alternative analysis?
What strategies including incentives and reducing VMT could be explored to build local economies (goods/services) to reduce VMT, increase livability measures and minimize energy use?
What messages on climate change and energy are most effective with what audiences: decision-makers, transportation practitioners, system users? How can we communicate effects, provide options/incentives, policies (i.e., pricing)?
How can we address livability in NEPA and other cross-cutting legislation?
How can we integrate and strengthen the relationship between land use and transportation planning?
How do we define livability and what are the best metrics for measuring it? Are there different implications for land use and transportation planning at the local level and what…
Do we need to change old assumptions in our travel forecast models to account for rising gas prices (VMTs), economic variability, generational perspectives, and personal behaviors?
