This white paper assesses how cities are modifying transportation impact fees in response to Senate Bill (SB) 743, adopted in 2013 to orient environmental review of transportation impacts of development projects and plans in California to support sustainable development.
This white paper discusses a potential "Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Peak" for the 21st century. It presents a research agenda designed to clarify the reasons for the current VMT peak and to assess the implications for future passenger travel demand in the U.S.
An increasing diversity of vehicle types, paired with a growing demand for PEVs, has major implications for vehicle miles traveled (VMT), air pollution, and emissions. To better understand what is likely to happen, researchers predict household vehicle preference and VMT by vehicle body and fuel type.
E-bike incentive programs are being utilized across the United States to encourage the adoption of active transportation. This
study assesses the impacts of three e-bike rebate programs in Northern California using survey results gathered by each agency.
This project will greatly improve the understanding of the impacts of remote/hybrid work and other remote services and inform State and planning agencies by shedding light on the complex ways remote activities affect short‐term daily routines (e.g., telecommuting vs. commuting trips, travel mode choice, and spatial/ temporal trip distributions) and long‐term choices (vehicle choice, residential location and real estate development), and will help understand the impacts on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and transportation‐based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission impacts.
This dissertation examines the potential effect of an incentive-based approach to rebalancing a dock-less e-bike-share fleet on bike-share use and social benefits, focusing mainly on VMT reduction, using a e-bike-share service in the Sacramento area, CA.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis reviewed the empirical research on induced travel to understand the likely effects of adding roadway capacity in a variety of contexts.
