  7. Abstract:
  8. Expansions of large urban areas, as well as increase in the rate of car ownership, has given rise to the urban traffic congestion. One of the major approach to cope with the congestion issue is named Transit Oriented Development (TOD), which will cause changes in trip departure times, route choice, mode choice, and trip destinations. TOD also affects the land use in long-run periods. The goal of this study is to clarify the long-term impacts of TOD on land use and find the appropriate transit projects in order to abate the drawbacks of changes in land us. Land use/ transportation has been the subject of many recent studies. One of the previous studies investigates land use and transportation developments in order to reduce living costs. In this study, the population and employment assigned to the network by using the Garin- Lowry model and the transportation model includes a Joint modal split-assignment model. In the current study, an evolutionary model has been used to assign the population and employment. The proposed model can evaluate transit development role in land use and vice versa. Results reveal the fact that development of both transit system and land use simultaneously increases the benefits of development of each of them
