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.
