2MAPS is a geospatial product that provides a parcel-level affordable housing and traffic reduction model. It assigns parcels categorical scores based on spatial algorithms and performs overlays to produce maps, including a Relative Walk Map and Relative Transit Map. These maps identify High Walk and High Transit Overlay Zones by overlaying destination parcels and development candidate parcels to identify optimal locations for affordable housing based on walkability and transit access.

2MAPS is a geospatial‐based product that
provides a parcel‐level affordable housing and
traffic reduction model to aid in “smart growth”
and sustainable development
Spatial algorithm assigns parcels categorical scores and
performs overlays
Maps produced:
• Relative Walk Map / High Walk Overlay zone
• Relative Transit Map / High Walk Overlay zone
• Climate Change Overlay Map

3. RELATIVE WALK MAP / HIGH WALK
A Relative Walk Potential map layer is created by first mapping all the destination parcels (retail, service, amenities) and buffering
those parcels by a certain radius. The resulting Relative Walk Potential map applies a factor to each parcel to distinguish the
walkability to destination parcels.
The Relative Walk map is then overlayed with another parcel map with parcels selected that are candidates for development (multi‐
family, commercial, office, mixed use). The intersecting parcels from these 2 maps creates the High Walk Overlay Zone essentially
identifying parcels that are optimal for redevelopment to offer affordable housing for town workers based on walkability.

9. RELATIVE TRANSIT MAP / HIGH TRANSIT
The same process is used to create a Relative Transit Potential map although this time, a categorical
walkability rating is assigned to each parcel according to the total number of nearby destinations factoring
each parcel based on transit potential using bus stop and accessible jobs data.
