In this project, both stated and measured data will be used to evaluate the San Joaquin Valley's carsharing program, volunteer ride-hailing program, and the "mobility-as-a-service" smartphone application.
This project will develop a tool to evaluate the costs and benefits of active transportation projects as a part of Caltrans Active Transportation Program project evaluation.
This project examines the uncertainties of on-demand ride-hailing, and policies that transportation planners are implementing to curb negative effects.
This research examines the potential for the adoption of a standardized fare payment system throughout California’s transit operators; to better serve their customers and provide seamless trip-planning and payment.
The study will shed light on the evolving impacts of new mobility options on various components of travel behavior and vehicle ownership, how these solutions expand travel options and the circumstances under which travelers increase travel multimodality and may reduce their reliance on the use of private vehicles.
In this project, the research team will assess the impacts of discounted express lane tolls on ZEV adoption statewide and specifically in disadvantaged communities and areas where these discounts will have the largest impact. The results of this analysis will be used to propose a discount system that will encourage ZEV adoption but not overly burden express lane infrastructure.
