Angelo Planning Group, along with the Oregon Department of Transportation, received the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association's 2005 Special Achievement in Planning Award for their Trip Cap Measures Cookbook. APG was asked to help ODOT Region 3 prepare a "cookbook" to aid communities in managing land use impacts on transportation facilities. Of special concern was the impact of development near freeway interchanges with limited capacity. APG was the principal author for the cookbook, which outlines trip allocation and trip cap programs. The book also includes "recipes" that offer step-by-step directions for implementing the solutions outlined in the cookbook. The book is the only one of its kind in the United States.
