climate change

This study aims to dive deeper into understanding how people travel and their perceptions and opinions about various components of travel in a majority rural state. By speaking directly with Vermonters through in-person interviews, the authors obtain uniquely personal points of view and analyze them for commonalities and differences between urban, suburban, and rural Vermonters.

This dataset is from project UVM-DOT-704. In this study, the researchers aim to dive deeper into understanding how people travel and their perceptions and opinions about various components of travel in a majority rural state.

The researchers created an internet-based survey that asked people living in Vermont how they responded to the recent increase in gasoline and diesel fuel prices and what they plan to do if prices remain high.

Researchers developed a data-driven, site-specific method that can be implemented at multiple vulnerable sites throughout San Francisco Bay and other low-lying coastal areas across the State of California. A simple statistical model combined with forecast error correction is used to produce a 4-day water level forecast at 3 stations near HWY 37, Sonoma/Marin County, California. 

This dataset is for project UVM-DOT-704. The researchers surveyed residents of Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire to gauge understanding of and support for a mileage fee and a flat fee as potential replacements for the gas tax.

This data is from a project that developed and administered the Climate Adaptation Training Needs and Opportunities Survey to assess the status of adaptation-related professional development at state DOTs and other transportation agencies.

This report describes several related studies that focus on understanding the opportunities and constraints that people face in changing how they travel in small and rural communities in Vermont and also evaluates the equity implications of gas tax alternatives.

To understand current climate adaptation workforce development needs, researchers at the University of Vermont surveyed state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations about training needs and opportunities at their agencies and catalogued climate adaptation graduate and certificate programs at universities around the country to assess whether these programs aligned with identified needs.
