Promoting Sustainable Travel within Communities through Behavioral Interventions and Emerging Mobility Solutions: Stage 2

The primary objective of the project is to systematically nudge communities towards societal travel goals of mobility, accessibility, environmental sustainability, and equity by addressing the challenges of low adoption of sustainable travel modes (e.g., transit, walking, biking) and limited access to societal services/activities (e.g., jobs, medical, grocery stores) for disadvantaged groups (e.g., travelers in transit […]

From Cross-Sectional to Longitudinal: The Impact of Sampling Strategies on Measuring Mobility Choices

The transportation profession has long relied on surveys as a main source of data. These surveys are used across a broad range of applications, including but not limited to, travel demand forecasting, travel behavior analysis, policy evaluation, environmental impact assessment, equity analysis, and economic evaluation. Despite the increasing accessibility of passive data collection methods, such

Analysis of Changes in the Activity Prisms of Individuals to Predict a Shared Life Experience Metric Over Different Regions and Sociodemographic Groups

Technology has changed individuals’ travel behavior and time-use in so many ways. As much as it offers variety of benefits to societies, it may add to social exclusion phenomena, since the need for travel is being replaced by a click of a button in cell-phone. People don’t feel the need to leave their home to

The Differential Accessibility Effects of Work from Home: Travel Behavior Outcomes and Transportation Equity Implications

Researchers have long highlighted the potential effects of telework on the geography of opportunity in metropolitan areas. Telework, despite increasing accessibility to certain job markets, can further cause employment and population to decentralize, facilitating a spatially dispersed pattern of metropolitan growth. This could exacerbate existing disparities and inequities, making it harder for disadvantaged and transit-dependent
