Abstract Transportation and land use policies affect economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity. Although transportation initiatives and land use policies impact one another, many regions consider the two processes separately. This disassociation can lead to inefficient use of resources, adverse environmental and community effects, and overlooked synergies. To more closely examine local efforts to integrate transportation and land use policies, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored a series of domestic scan tours. A delegation of federal and local government representatives visited multiple project sites in the fall of 2002 and fall of 2003 to obtain, highlight, and share successful processes, methodologies, and practices concerning the integration of local and regional transportation and land use planning within the United States. The results of the first domestic scan tour were published in the spring of 2003. The second domestic scan tour took place in November 2003, and focused on communities in the southeastern states of Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The visited projects were currently in the implementation stage of design and construction, and emphasized the redesign, redevelopment, and retrofitting of roadway corridors through the use of innovative planning techniques. The communities also used visioning processes to consider the interrelationships among transportation, land use decision-making, quality-of-life, and economic vitality issues. The report includes findings and recommendations.
