The Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota has released a report that identifies the walking tolerance of park-and-ride users to transit stations. This report determines which factors influence the willingness to walk to transit with the goal of informing future planning efforts for park-and-ride facilities.

The National Center for Sustainable Transportation at the University of California at Davis has released a report that analyzes the effects of ride-hailing services on elements of the transportation system, including congestion, vehicle miles traveled, and greenhouse gas emissions. This report also determines the effects of ride hailing on individual vehicle ownership choices, use of ride-hailing services by those who would otherwise not travel independently by car, destination choice, mode choice, opera...

The University of Michigan has released a report that investigates the effect of resale value on consumer purchasing decisions regarding plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). This report focuses on comparing the resale value of PEVs and comparable internal-combustion-engine vehicles, and determines consumer opinions regarding the importance of vehicle resale value in an individual’s decision to purchase various vehicle types, including PEVs.

The Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University has released a report that evaluates the “Do It!" Program. The Federal Transit Administration sponsored the Ladders of Opportunity Initiative to encourage skilled workers from targeted groups, including the underserved, underemployed, and/or minority groups, into transit-oriented career paths. Under this umbrella, the Valley Transit Authority developed the “Do It!” project to create an education and training program that focused on hiring t...

The Illinois Center for Transportation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has released a report that evaluates the performance of preservation treatments used by districts as part of the pavement preservation program. The pavement preservation program was implemented in Illinois by testing four different types of preservation treatments: micro-surfacing, slurry seals, cape seal, and chip seals.

The Illinois Center for Transportation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has released a report that updates and revises the existing condition rating survey (CRS) calculation and prediction models for pavement performance. This report focuses on the CRS system used by the Illinois Department of Transportation and compares it to systems used in other states.

The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that validates the finite element models established for steel H-piles with or without concrete encasements. These models have been calculated based on the provisions outlined in the American Institute of Steel Construction Manual.

The University of Michigan has released a report that compares the fatalities per population from road crashes across individual states. Specifically, this report evaluates road safety in a public health context by comparing mortality from road crashes to mortality from other leading causes of death, such as heart attacks.

The Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota has released a report that examines the factors influencing policy and political leadership in adopting policies toward reducing road fatalities and serious injuries. This report seeks to increase understanding of the policy context for safety and the effect of special interest groups at the state and local level on roadway safety policy promotion and adoption.

The Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Texas at Austin has released a report that determines the best mix type for use as an ultra thin overlay. The report also evaluates the volumetric-based criterion used to determine the optimum binder content and identifies the properties of the required tack coat. Ultra thin overlays have become a common alternative to seal coats due to their lack of noise and improved ride quality, as well as their reduced overall cost.
