This project is a second-year project extension that will allow the researchers to complement the survey research on local finance and planning mechanisms for transit-oriented development with extensive case studies.
In this project, existing travel survey data will be analyzed and changes in mode share in California will be summarized to provide evidence for potential reasons for the change with the purpose of helping Caltrans evaluate their progress in meeting their specific goals of tripling bicycling and doubling walking and transit.
The goal of this project is to understand barriers to potential ridership including a dearth of first- and last-mile connections, reliability of service, bicycle and pedestrian facilities near stations, cost, changes in attitudes, changes in demand for travel (induced by work from home preferences), and station level amenities including parking.
This research project will compare key elements of program design, administration, and projected benefits from the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) and Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) programs, with the aim of considering how and whether a state-led strategy (AHSC) differs from regionally-designed strategies (through REAP), in furthering SB 375 goals through funding that allocated for similar specific purposes.

The goal of this study intends to understand the relative share of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) between a plug-in hybrid vehicle and a battery electric vehicle.
This research project aims to support efforts within Caltrans in conducting a wildfire vulnerability risk assessment for fuels reduction in the right of way (ROW) to protect Caltrans’ infrastructur
The objective of this project is to build-on past research to explicitly model and evaluate the integrated system of last-mile strategies utilized to keep pace with the growing demands of e-commerce.
