  • Jesus Barajas (Co-PI) -- Construction of Pedestrian Infrastructure Along Transit Corridors:
    Exploring the challenges and opportunities for pedestrian access to transit and to generate corresponding policy recommendations for Pace Suburban Bus and other transportation partners in northeastern Illinois. 
     
  • Hossain Mohiuddin -- Iowa City Automated Vehicle Adaptation and Equity Plan:
    Assessing trends in Iowa City’s mobility systems to identify the existing challenges, explore the impacts related to Automated Vehicles (AV), and inform the City’s sustainable development. Based on literature review, data analysis, and public engagement in the form of interviews with key stakeholders and a public open house, this project recommends a redesign of the future Iowa City Transit system as a trunk and feeder system that utilizes neighborhood door-to-door AV shuttles that feed dedicated trunk lines moving a high volume of passengers across the City. 
     
  • Hossain Mohiuddin -- First and Last Mile Transit Plan Review: 
    Developing a framework with an emphasis on transportation equity to examine the first and last mile (FLM) plans that various transit agencies have adopted. We identified five common approaches to addressing the FLM issue: spatial gap analysis with a focus on socio-demographics and locational characteristics, incorporation of emerging mobility services, innovative funding approaches for plan implementation, equity and transportation remedies for marginalized communities, and development of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructures surrounding transit stations. The findings of this study were presented in the 100th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board and also published in a special issue of the Journal of Sustainability.
