Abstract: ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to improve the tools available for analyzing and evaluating land use and transport policies in a regional planning context. A normative residential location submodel is combined with a predictive submodel for the location of employment. The demand side of the residential location submodel is formulated as a nested multinomial logit model of the joint choice of residential location submodel is formulated as a nested multinormial logit model of the joint choice of residential location and transportation mode. The cost of commuting is assumed to be a major determinant of locational choice. The employment location submodel is based on the assumption that accessibility to the labor force is the strategic location factor. Two versions of the submodels are proposed corresponding to a post‐ and pre‐distribution modal split in the familiar four step transport model. Policy tests of a newly proposed, large‐scale traffic investment program in the Stockholm region are reported.
