Seed Grant

This project will model how psychological, street, and infrastructure characteristics influence bicyclist behavior in urban settings with inadequate bicycling infrastructure.

This seed grant will include an evaluation of the potential strategies and programs to achieve the goals of the California Integrated Travel Project (Cal-ITP).

The project will develop an ‘Organic Resource Locator’ for the Southern California region with particular emphasis on the territory served by the Southern California Gas Company. This will be a map of technically recoverable organic resources available for energy conversion, and the potential end users.

This project measured emissions differences between conventional vehicles and hybrid-electric vehicles.

This project documents how the 2018 bike-share program in the Sacramento region impacted local travel behavior. Researchers conducted a before-and-after analysis on bicycling, transit use, and vehicle miles of travel.

This reserch will quantify sustainable sidewalk infrastructure costs for the City of Atlanta, assuming a 40-year life-cycle for repair and replacement.

This research will develop a comprehensive list of features and types that should be inventoried through interaction with complete streets and asset management experts, and review of the methods and technologies currently used for complete streets features.

This project addresses permeable pavement design, with a special emphasis on stormwater management, water quality benefits, and identification of knowledge and data gaps.

This project examines how shared mobility services are changing transportation supply and demand. The researchers specifically focus on differences between millennials and Generation X individuals.

Prior research has either solely focused on measures of land use efficiency to reduce VMT or focused on measures of gentrification and housing affordability. This research project aims to address this gap, through the evaluation of existing tools that aims to address both land use efficiency and equity to promote sustainability and equity of the built environment.
