This study proposes a new theory—called the “Dealbreaker Theory”—to explain why many people do not bike, suggesting that individuals have specific, independent cycling needs that must all be met before they will choose to ride, and that understanding and addressing these needs is key to increasing cycling rates.
As travel costs fall with new capacity, the quantity of travel increases. This concept—induced travel—has profound implications but remains unevenly embraced in practice.
We surveyed transportation students and the U.S. public to explore consensus and divergence in policy preferences.
This survey of the U.S. public shows concerns about revenue are associated with greater opposition to cameras and greater distrust of the government.
Induced travel elasticities associated with new road capacity are typically estimated for roads of higher functional classifications, such as interstate freeways and principal arterials. These are estimated as “own” elasticities, that is an increase in lane kilometers...
There is a growing perception that e-scooters are more dangerous than bicycles and e-bikes, with towns implementing measures to ban their usage. Yet, there is not much evidence from large scale surveys to substantiate this claim. Nearly 14,000 micromobility injuries...
We compare charging station accessibility for different income groups in the San Francisco Bay Area. Using a microsimulation model, we estimate charging station accessibility under varying battery range scenarios, assuming different income groups have vehicles with...
The New Jersey Micromobility Guide serves as a resource for micromobility users across the state, collecting and summarizing the laws and safety best practices that can make riders safer. Micromobility, which includes e-bikes, e-scooters, and other low-speed devices,...
