Centrally Coordinated Schedules and Routes of Airport Shuttles with LAX Terminals as Application Area

  • Principal Investigator Petros Ioannou, Ph.D.
  • University of Southern California
The purpose of this project is to develop a CENtrally COordinated Shuttle system (CENCOS) which can effectively coordinate airport shuttle schedules and routes in order to minimize curb congestion at the pick-up and drop-off points, reduce operational cost, improve quality of service with considerable benefits to mobility and environment.

Changes in Mode Share in California

  • Principal Investigator Susan Handy, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
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.

Changing Markets for Commuter and Suburban Rail

  • Principal Investigator Kari E. Watkins, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
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.

Cloud Forming Potential of Aerosol from Light-Duty Gasoline Direct Injection Vehicles

  • Principal Investigator Georgios Karavalakis, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Riverside
This project investigates the water-uptake of aerosols from gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles using a mobile environmental chamber that has been designed and constructed to characterize secondary emissions, or emissions that have undergone atmospheric transformations.

Comparing REAP and AHSC: State-defined versus regionally-defined funding strategies for affordable housing linked to multi-modal transport

  • Principal Investigator Elisa Barbour, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
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.
