Higher way property taxes on land used for property taxes on other land uses, such as public roads and parking facilities housing, commercial buildings and farms Increased roadway Increased motorized mobility, More difficult and dangerous walking and capacity and design degraded walking and cycling cycling. [...] For example, transportation and land use planning decisions are often poorly coordinated, and planning decisions are often uncoordinated between nearby jurisdictions, preventing the development of alternative modes and mobility management programs. [...] Transport planners use estimates of traffic and parking demand (also called trip and parking generation) to determine how much road and parking capacity to supply. [...] As a result, most models significantly understate the potential of transit fare reductions and service improvements to reduce problems such as traffic congestion and vehicle pollution, and understate the long-term negative impacts that fare increases and service cuts would have on transit ridership, transit revenue, traffic congestion and pollution emissions. [...] Qualitative Focus on quantitative factors such as speed Develop methods for measuring qualitative impacts and user fees, and undervalues qualitative factors and incorporating them into planning and factors such as convenience and comfort.
