Urban planners and scholars have focused a great deal of attention on understanding the relationship between the built environment and transportation behavior. However, other aspects of the urban environment--including the vibrancy and quality of life in urban areas--have received little attention. This report seeks to close this gap by analyzing t

Policy makers across the country are keenly interested in reducing emissions from driving and increasing public transit use. Guided by a large literature documenting the connections between urban sprawl, more driving and less public transit use, land-use policy has been identified as an effective tool for reversing sprawl and reducing emissions.

The prospect of global warming and increased climate variability has become a major policy issue during the last decade. Since transportation is a major—and growing—contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, transportation agencies will increasingly seek ways to address it by developing ways to mitigate GHG emissions. This will be especially ch

Many studies and models projecting future rates of sea level rise (SLR) from the global level to regional studies specific to Florida exist. While many different projections and models are available, there is no consensus as to which projections of SLR would be most appropriate to evaluate the vulnerability of transportation infrastructure.

In Florida, low elevations can make transportation infrastructure in coastal and low-lying areas potentially vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). Becuase global SLR forecasts lack precision at local or regional scales, SLR forecasts or scenarios for parts of the state have been prepared using varying tools and approaches. However, Florida still lack
