| 摘要： | The Complete Streets Act (Assembly Bill 1358), which was signed into law in September of 2008, requires cities and counties to account for the needs of all roadway users when updating their local general transportation plan. Also, the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) revised an internal policy to adopt a Complete Streets Implementation Action Act (2008). As a result, California became the second state to implement a Complete Streets policy by designing roadways that are compatible to all types of transportation, including walking and cycling, as well as private vehicles and public transportation, with the goal of reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and their associated emissions. So far, there is little evidence on whether and how complete streets result in changes in travel behavior such as reductions in VMT. Although there has been active research on the relationship between the built environment and travel behavior, most of the studies tend to focus on a larger scale of the built environment such as land-use density and street networks. Traffic engineering studies, on the other hand, focus mostly on individual road design elements and their traffic flow impact. Currently, there is little research on how complete street designs impact travel behavior. Therefore, the goal of this project is to collect information in Southern California on the impacts of complete streets on travel behavior, including how such impacts would differ among different population groups and across different land-use contents (e.g. downtown business districts, urban mixed-use areas, and suburban residential areas) in roadways selected to represent typical arterial and local road types. |
