Selected growth management techniques for use in mitigating traffic congestion in Masssachusetts [sic] suburban corridors

This thesis selectively examines four planning concepts for use in mitigating suburban traffic congestion in Massachusetts: Areas of Critical Planning, Developments of Regional Impact, Negotiated Development Agreements, and Performance Zoning. These measures were chosen from a wide variety of growth management actions in use across the country for their potential effectiveness in handling suburban traffic congestion, and for their compatibility with the structure of local, regional, and state government in the Commonwealth. The thesis presents the use of these four concepts as an integrated approach to local and regional cooperative planning. The experiences of this approach by the state of Florida and the Martha's Vineyard Commission are discussed, and the applicability of an integrated planning approach for widespread use in Massachusetts is explored. Specific recommendations for all levels of government to achieve an integrated approach to planning are made.
