Research Seminar: Effects of Complete Streets on Travel Behavior

Описание: With growing interests in travel demand management, smart growth, climate change mitigation, and transportation safety and equity, increasing number of communities have adopted policies to promote complete streets. Complete streets are structured to make streets accessible for all users - drivers, transit users, pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. They are designed to encourage travel behavior changes to promote health benefits. However, there is little evidence of whether or how these changes take place with complete street conversion. In this study, we compared complete streets to incomplete streets to investigate their impact on travel behavior and street users' exposure to traffic-related air pollutants.
