Scholars, municipalities and federal agencies have proposed new measures for evaluating street performance for non-automobile modes including transit service, bicyclists and pedestrians.
This paper concerns the methods for calculating Pedestrian Level of Service and Bicycle Level of Service as they are presented in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual.
Bicycle and pedestrian counts enable robust understanding of costs, benefits, behavior, and more. Data from four San Gabriel Valley cities provide an understanding of the effectiveness of walking and cycling infrastructure and safety investment.
In the last 10 years, transit use in Southern California has fallen significantly. This report examines patterns of transit service and patronage over time and across the region, and considers an array of explanations for falling transit use.
This report examines the socioeconomic changes in South Los Angeles since the Sixties to shed light on what, if any, progress has been made toward addressing issues of access, equity, and justice.
The TTI estimated that traffic congestion cost the Bay Area economy – by some measures the nation’s most vibrant regional economy – a staggering $3.1 billion in 2014. But do such measures really capture how congestion and the conditions that give rise to it affect regional economies?
In the mid-2000s, the state began diverting fuel sales tax money previously earmarked for mass transit to pay debt from highway and rail bonds, as well as general services supported by the state. A state court, however, soon ruled that diverting transportation sales taxes to the General Fund was invalid. Therefore, the Governor proposed a “Fuel Tax Swap."
Calculating GHG emissions reductions for transportation projects is both difficult and imperative for policy. The existing scholarship reflects three problems: 1) the complexity of transportation systems and travel behavior, 2) the lack of data to support emissions calculations, 3) the inability to apply existing academic models to policy implementation.
This study assesses how community members of Jordan Downs perceive issues of the built environment, and how these perceptions may influence their transportation mode choice.
