This study uncovers the pluralities and often overlooked vistages of accessibility in shaping the travel dynamics of suburban areas, revealing how these zones are essential to urban transformation and livability in developing economies. Contemporary planning best practices have endorsed the connections between transportation and land use accessibil...

As the adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) surges into the spotlight of mainstream transportation networks, their implications for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 13 for climate action become ever more significant. Despite the symbolic optimism about their perceived potential to meet global climate targets, the discourse around legi...

This paper responds to the emerging concerns of residential dissonance character by examining the position and influence of the “life-course” framework of households on residential mobility decisions and the conjunct attainment of subjective well-being in their current and anticipated residential locations. Using data from a cross-sectional survey...

The rapidly evolving and growing adoption of app-based shared-mobility platforms and TNCs, popularly called ride-hailing services, have expounded the discourse on mode-choice dissonance while provoking numerous public interest questions on how they fit or disrupt more conventional transport options. The contested dialogue on how these uniquely adop...

Metrics for cataloging regional transportation planning success are quickly evolving from the business-as-usual mobility measures like roadway level of service towards more sustainable accessibility indicators. Indicators that connect people to opportunities. While this conventional shift gains momentum in modern planning, the exhibition of accessi...

Throughout the United States, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are increasingly attempting to shape local land use planning. Some MPOs have developed funding programs that redirect highway and road construction dollars to support less auto-centric community development - which we call Transportation and Land-Use Connection (TLC) programs....

Reducing the lane width of urban arterials provides space for different street features, whereas selecting the appropriate lane width considering road safety is a concern. The major elements of this research are: a comprehensive literature review investigating the effects narrower travel lanes and other geometric designs have on speed, safety, and...

Addressing social equity in public transportation remains a key challenge for many cities and planning organizations. In this study, we examined social equity dimensions of accessibility to light rail transit (LRT) stations in Salt Lake County, U.S., by employing two novel methods. First, we used the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method...

Gaining topical prominence amongst the Institute of Transport Engineers (ITE) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at the dawn of the Millenium, the marginal utility and myriad impacts of traffic calming on one of America's auto-oriented cities have over the years - appeared to be ousted within the circles of transportation research dialo...

The ever-increasing road traffic congestion conundrum in many regions globally has urged researchers and transport practitioners alike to look for environmentally friendly and economically cogent solutions to mollify the yawning gaps. Amongst the many different interventions employed to mitigate this transport challenge are strategic road network r...

This paper responds to the emergent concerns of residential relocation dissonance character by examining the antigenic influence of the “life-course” cycle of households on residential mobility decisions and the conjunct attainment of subjective wellbeing in their current and anticipated residential locations. By way of syllogizing data from a cros...

Within the collaborative framework of Westside Studio and the Salt Lake City Public Lands Divisions, demographic data is collected and equity audits are conducted for 20 parks in the city. This report surmises the demographic and socio-economic data collected, analyzed, and visually presented from publicly available sources. The extrapolated data e...

Set within the backdrop of some auto-oriented American city streets, the synthesis of urban street designs and their implicit effects on pedestrian activities are empirically measured. To provide more insights into understanding how designed street typologies and pedestrian activities affect the long term equitable preservation of urban environment...

The paper seeks to provide empirical insights into accessibility levels within suburban areas with sustainable implications for land and transport management. Connections are made to land value differentials and transport infrastructure whereas evaluating the role of accessibility in defining households’ residential locational preferences. Attempts...
