The major objective of the proposed research is to identify the relationship between new school location and urban development patterns. This objective includes understanding the rationale for school location decisions, examining historical data on such decisions and resulting residential and commercial development, investigating school location and local congestion levels, and developing recommendations for school siting decisions that consider transportation implications more fully.
