Multi-Modal Travel & Sustainable Land Use

This project evaluates the motivations and emissions impacts of individuals choosing car or plane travel for long-distance trips.

This project will evaluate the reasons that public transit riders return (or do not return) to transit in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The researchers compare and evaluate vehicle miles traveled (VMT) estimation tools across a sample of land use projects in California.

This project studies the impacts of enhancing public transportation systems by integrating shared mobility for first- and last-mile transit access.

This research will evaluate the relationship between travel and the built environment in rural regions. The results of this research will inform GHG mitigation and transportation and land use planning in rural regions across the US.

The research team will evaluate travel burdens in constrained populations in the US using self-reported and inferred data from a large US survey.

Given the increase in demand and incentives for e-bicycling; this project seeks to evaluate the behavioral effects (change in bicycling, driving, use of transit) of these incentives to help guide future policy interventions for e-bicycling. The researchers will examine these changes based on survey data, and will propose future study designs for more in-depth analyses and evaluations of e-bike incentives.

Researchers will leverage unique survey data on travel behavior in the greater Sacramento region before and after the availability of the dockless e-bike-share and e-scooter-share.

This project studies patterns and impacts related to long-distance travel and tourism in Vermont.

This research focuses on transportation of underserved people in the Sacramento area of California and aims to explore their barriers to and facilitators of adoption of a technology-enabled on-demand service—microtransit—and how and to what extent it helps get access to services and employment by employing quantitative methods based on data collected through phone and intercept surveys.
