The Urban Transportation Policy Analysis Process (UTPAP) is described. UTPAP was developed as a sketch planning analysis tool for the Technology Assessment of Productive Conservation in Urban Transportation (TAPCUT). TAPCUT was a comprehensive study of the potential environmental, health, and public safety impacts of various alternative productive urban transportation energy conservation strategies. Productive conservation strategies encourage energy conservation without disrupting the economy or life-style. The strategies that were analyzed reflected alternative national investment in infrastructure and technology and regulatory policies. The UTPAP is a sketch planning model package that incorporates state-of-the-art, household based, disaggregate travel demand models for mode and destination choice with detailed specification of automobile technologies. It is useful in analyzing both the short and long term implications of city specific transportation planning policies, providing summaries of transportation, fuel consumption, air quality, and public health and safety impacts. Stratified by both type of household and geographic area of occurrence, these impact measures are valuable in assessing the social equity of transportation policy impacts. Preliminary sensitivity analysis indicated that non-work travel was more responsive to price and level-of-service (LOS) change than work travel.
