In this paper, the authors consider the evidence available and assumptions needed for projecting statewide vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reductions for each category of strategies.
This paper presents results from a 2018 survey of local planners about an impending transition in California’s environmental review law, which will require planners to evaluate land development projects for their effects on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) rather than automobile level-of-service (LOS).
This policy brief summarizes findings from a study which examined how access to jobs in employment sub-centers influences household vehicle miles traveled.
This project examines the uncertainties of on-demand ride-hailing, and policies that transportation planners are implementing to curb negative effects.
This paper studies the intersection of policies promoting affordable housing, transit-oriented developments (TODs), and the reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in metropolitan areas.
This study examined the sustainability of shared micromobility services using data from 48 cities in the US using a 21-day smartphone travel diary and survey data.
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.
The goal of this project was to assess the capabilities of the travel demand forecasting models (TDMs) used by California’s metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) with respect to forecasting the increase in vehicle miles of travel induced by highway capacity expansion.
Researchers reviewed the existing literature on autonomous vehicles (AVs) in shared and private ownership scenarios and assessed the benefits inherent to AVs (regardless of ownership model) as well as of the benefits and challenges of AV-sharing in rural areas relative to urban areas.
