1 List of Caltrans Sponsored Research related to Active Transportation Active Transportation and Livable Communities Quarterly Meeting 21 st May, 2015

2 Agenda National Accessibility Evaluation – TPF Project PlanWorks – SHRP2 Product Research @ University Transportation Centers

3 National Accessibility Evaluation Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Project Led by Minnesota DOT and UMN Received a funding commitment for $1.2 million from various states (CA, FL, IA, MN, NC, WisDOT, FHWA), far exceeding the required commitment of $430k http://access.umn.edu/

5 National Accessibility Evaluation Calculates number of jobs accessible in 10 min, 20 min, 30 min – by road – by transit Better than EPA tool (smart location database) – Better resolution of data, CENSUS block level – Speed data using GPS, accounts for congestion – Transit data for all day

6 PlanWorks SHRP2 Product (FHWA + TRB + AASHTO) Improves collaborative decision making in transportation planning – Long Range Planning – Programming – Corridor Planning – Environmental Review Decision Guide + Assessments + Applications + Library https://fhwaapps.fhwa.dot.gov/planworks/Home
