This research studies the potential of bikeshare services to bridge the gap between Affordable Housing Communities (AHC) and transit services to improve transport accessibility of the residents. In doing so, the study develops an agent-based simulation optimization modeling (ABM) framework for the optimal design of the bikesharing station network considering improving accessibility as the objective.
This project will develop a framework to optimize the location of bikeshare stations to mitigate the barriers between affordable housing and transit services. To achieve this, the multi-objective optimization process will consider both bikeshare trip demand, transit service schedule, available affordable housing units, and other geographic information.
This report provides research findings from the first year of a two-year research project on patterns of local policymaking in California to support transit-oriented development (TOD), transit, and active transport.
The Section 8 voucher program enables low-income residents to rent homes in the private market while receiving financial assistance to keep their housing affordable.
This report provides research findings from the second year of a two-year research project on patterns of local policymaking in California to support transit-oriented development (TOD), transit, and active transport.
This project will investigate how and whether localities are able to effectively integrate use of both level-of-service (LOS) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT), identify the best practices, and provide recommendations for Caltrans and other state agencies for assisting localities.
This policy brief summarizes findings from a white paper that provided the rationale for turning failing shopping malls with large footprints into mixed-use housing, then providing or enhancing transit to these redevelopment projects, which could result in successful TODs.
This paper explores opportunities for the redevelopment of failing regional shopping malls as Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) to improve transit ridership, focusing on Southern California.
This paper explores opportunities for the redevelopment of failing regional shopping malls as Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) to improve transit ridership, focusing on Southern California.
This project will lay the groundwork for creating a calculator for estimating the ridership impacts of Transit-Oriented Development through reviewing the existing literature on the topic and identifying an actionable plan and concrete model structure to implement the calculator.
