Increased travel due to new projects leads to heightened greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental issues, spotlighting the need for improved measurement strategies.
The updates to the Transportation Analysis Framework (TAF) aim to help planners identify projects increasing vehicle travel for better mitigation strategies against this travel.
Caltrans’ shift in perspective aims to recognize induced travel as a core issue in addressing emissions, marking a significant cultural change in transportation impact analysis.
Although the 2023 updates to TAF and TAC reflect minor clarifications, they emphasize California's ongoing commitment to evolve measurements under S.B. 743.
