Available research cannot definitively demonstrate causal
association between new transit service and travel behavior
change, but there is a pressing need to estimate the potential
magnitude of the causal effects of transit investments in ways
that are policy-relevant. This research project innovates by
applying an experimental - control group research design to study
a new light rail transit service in Los Angeles, California. Only
two previous studies use an experimental design to assess the
impacts of light rail transit, and this study is the first to use
an experimental design to measure impacts on vehicle miles
traveled--a key determinant of greenhouse gas emissions from the
transport sector. We administered a seven-day travel study to a
panel of households in the vicinity of Los Angeles' Expo light
rail line before the 2012 start of rail service and twice after
the line opened. For more go to the announcement at:
