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

  /AB   ABSTRACT: This research project was undertaken to 
         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.
