File Description [top]

Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) is a composite file with records that are either abstracts of published articles and reports, or summaries of ongoing or recently completed research projects relevant to the planning, development, operation, and performance of transportation systems and their components. Users can search the entire TRIS database or restrict their searches to any combination of subfiles and record types. TRIS provides international coverage of ongoing research projects, published journal articles, state and federal government reports, conference proceedings, research and technical papers, and monographs. The major TRIS subfiles are as follows:

HRIS--Highway Research Information Service
IRRD--International Road Research Documentation
TLIB--Transportation Libraries: joint contributions by the Northwestern University Transportation Library and the University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Transportation Studies Library
UMTRIS--Urban Mass Transportation Research Information Service
ATRIS--the Air Transportation Research Information Service
HSL--Highway Safety Literature
MRIS--Maritime Research Information Service

RRIS--Railroad Research Information Service

	`obtain a better understanding of the potential`
	`quantitative benefits of land use planning and`
	`development in conjunction with multimodal`
	`transportation facilities that provide convenient`
	`alternatives to personal vehicle travel. The report`
	`suggests community-level performance goals that can`
	`reasonably be attained in urban, suburban and`
	`rural/exurban communities by implementing packages`
	`of transportation related land use strategies in`
	`coordination with multimodal transportation`
	`systems. The performance goals are listed in terms`
	`of average annual vehicle travel per household and`
	`related vehicular emissions. The report recommends`
	`eight packages of transportation-related land use`
	`strategies appropriate for urban, suburban, and`
	`rural/exurban communities. It also provides`
	`detailed descriptions of specific strategy`
	`characteristics for each type of community,`
	`including suggested development densities and`
	`mixtures and configurations of lane uses. In`
	`addition, implementation mechanisms for local`
	`governments are listed and examples provided of`
	`existing programs.`
