Book Synopsis Vehicle Miles Traveled, State Mandates, and Councils of Government by : Rachael Brown
Download or read book Vehicle Miles Traveled, State Mandates, and Councils of Government written by Rachael Brown and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to California State mandates to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to automobile use, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) has become an important indicator of driving activity in a jurisdiction and subsequent GHGs generated by it. The regional organizations tasked with the implementation of public policy designed to reduce GHG emissions by automobiles are California's Councils of Governments (COGs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). The purpose of this thesis is an examination of whether specific policy activities undertaken by these organizations have had any effect at reducing VMT. A few examples of these policy activities include transit-oriented development and Blueprint strategies that include limiting urban sprawl and managing regional growth. To accomplish this, I utilized both a quantitative regression analysis of data gathered quantitative data from multiple sources including the California Department of Transportation, United States (US) Census Bureau, Center for Health Statistics, and California Association of Councils of Government. For my dependent variable, I chose total VMT because it measures driving activity. My key explanatory variables are Single-County COG, Multi-County COG, and Blueprint. My results show that both of the COG variables have a negative impact on VMT totals, but the Blueprint variable has a positive effect on VMT. More specifically, the Multi-County COG has greater effects on VMT reduction than Single-County COGs. This suggests that regional cooperation is helpful in reducing VMT. Furthermore, I collected qualitative data by interviewing two representatives each from two different COGs. I asked them if they would consider a COG/MPO an effective organization to reduce VMT, to which they both agreed it is. I also asked if they thought the VMT mandated totals would be achieved by the proscribed due dates, and both thought it was not possible. The results provided in this study, unfortunately, are not conclusive in regards to the effectiveness of COG and MPO policies to reduce VMT. The purpose of including a Blueprint variable was to account for regional policies, and since that variable showed a positive correlation to VMT totals, I am not certain those policies are effective. However, I believe that my study is insightful and provides a starting point for tracking potential causes for changes in VMT.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 298: Driving and the Built Environment: Effects of Compact Development on Motorized Travel, Energy Use, and CO2 Emissions examines the relationship between land development patterns and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the United States to assess whether petroleum use, and by extension greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, could be reduced by changes in the design of development patterns. The report estimates the contributions that changes in residential and mixed-use development patterns and transit investments could make in reducing VMT by 2030 and 2050, and the impact this could have in meeting future transportation-related GHG reduction goals.

Book Synopsis Leaving Level-of-service Behind by : Amy E. Lee

Book excerpt: Concern about climate change has led to policies in California that aim to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. Although these policies mostly promote technological innovations, some policies aim to reduce GHG emissions by reducing the amount of driving, measured in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), through land use and transportation planning. The focus on VMT reduction represents a dramatic shift for the land use and transportation planning fields, which have traditionally prioritized reductions in vehicle delay, measured as level of service (LOS). California has taken the bold step to replace LOS with VMT as the metric of transportation impact in the environmental review process for land use and transportation plans and projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This study compares these two metrics – VMT and LOS – and their implications for three land use projects in Davis, California. We compare the LOS impacts analyzed in the environmental impact reports for the projects to forecasted VMT impacts that we quantify using several available VMT estimation models. Our analysis of LOS mitigation shows how the CEQA process per se impacts the built environment, often in ways that increase vehicle capacity and thus VMT. We find that a switch to VMT metrics may lead to streamlining for projects that reduce travel demand because of their location or design, whereas LOS metrics have led communities to build expensive, capacity-increasing mitigations measures to ease vehicle delay. Finally, we show that the vehicle capacity constructed to mitigate LOS may contravene the goals and aspirations of many communities in California, as well as the state’s goals for GHG reductions, and is unlikely to solve the congestion problem caused by misplaced land use development.
