Assisted in the development of this national research study, which provides guidance to public agencies on promoting car-sharing. Also assessed the impacts of car-sharing on parking demand, vehicle travel, air quality and mobility.
- Traffic Impact Analysis for Mixed-Use Developments. Assessed current and future multimodal transportation, trip generation and parking demand for mixed-use developments and traditional neighborhood developments in San Marcos, Palo Alto and Grass Valley, CA, by using standard trip generation tools as well as the traffic mitigation component of URBEMIS.
