This policy brief summarizes findings from a study of how the change to using VMT rather than LOS to measure land use projects' transportation impacts affects the approval process for urban development.

This report focuses on the quickly evolving transportation patterns resulting from the adoption of ridehailing as part of the efforts accompanying the implementation of the Clean Miles Standard (CMS) regulation.

In the same efforts to understand the evolving travel-related activities and inform policymaking, the UC Davis 3 Revolutions Future Mobility Program conducted four waves of mobility surveys between Spring 2020 and Fall 2023. Key findings from the analysis of these data reveal that remote work and a combination of remote work and physical commuting (i.e., hybrid work) emerge as an enduring outcome of the pandemic.

This report reviews the available evidence on changes in household travel behavior resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and provides an overview of potential state, regional, and local-level policies that could help to preserve changes that help to reduce VMT and reverse those that tend to increase VMT.

The researchers synthesized their findings into a set of best practices for science communication and considered how scientific reputation affects engagement in the policy process.

This policy brief examines findings of a study on driving impacts and policy approaches for affordable housing in Transit-Oriented Developments.
