His work helps expand the range of impacts and options considered in transportation decision-making, improve evaluation methods, and make specialized technical concepts accessible to a larger audience. His research is used worldwide in transport planning and policy analysis.
The topics covered will be Mr. Litman’s current research which includes:
• Evaluating transportation equity (http://www.vpti.org/equity.pdf), including the fair and efficient share of investments in non-auto modes (http://www.vtpi.org/fstp.pdf).
• Active mode (walking, bicycling and e-bikes) demands and investments
(http://www.vtpi.org/csn.pdf).
• Smart Growth policy reforms that create more compact, multimodal neighborhoods, including parking policy reforms and incentives for more compact infill development.
• Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Success Stories (http://www.vtpi.org/tdmss.pdf).
How communities can encourage shifts from driving to non-auto modes, and examples of success.
