ACCS Green Study - Current State of Green in Arlington Countysonalisoneji
The document summarizes the results of a green study conducted in Arlington County, Virginia. It finds that 73% of Arlington residents describe themselves as environmentally responsible, more so than in a national survey. Many Arlington residents frequently engage in green behaviors like recycling, using public transportation, and energy efficient practices. However, they are on par with national averages for some actions but more likely than the national sample for others like using reusable bags and buying local/green products.

This document analyzes the results of the 2015 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey conducted by the Atlanta Regional Commission. Some key findings include:
- Transportation was identified as the top issue facing metro Atlanta, chosen by 27% of respondents. Crime and the economy were the second and third biggest issues.
- A majority of respondents across most counties believe that expanding public transit is the best long-term solution to traffic problems in metro Atlanta.
- Two-thirds of all respondents rated metro Atlanta as an excellent or good place to live. However, ratings varied by county, with Cobb residents having the most positive outlook.
- Respondents generally felt positively about their own neighborhoods and the public education in their local
Uber targets would-be drunk drivers with latest studyHarrison Weber
Residents in major US cities are concerned about drunk driving and believe it should be a top priority for local officials. A poll found that 65% of respondents want officials to focus on reducing drunk driving. Services like Uber help address this issue by providing transportation alternatives when people have been drinking. 78% of adults say their friends are less likely to drive after drinking since Uber started operating in their cities. 57% of those polled who use transportation network services say they would drive after drinking more if Uber wasn't available. After being provided information about Uber's impact in reducing DUIs, 87% felt such services were important to public safety in their city.
This document provides an overview and summary of research on shared mobility trends, including carsharing and bikesharing. It discusses definitions and growth patterns in carsharing and bikesharing membership and vehicles in North America between 2002-2013. Key findings from surveys on carsharing impacts in 2008 and bikesharing member demographics and impacts in 2013 are presented. Maps show patterns of modal shifts to and from public transit in Washington DC and Minneapolis in response to bikesharing introduction. Related shared mobility research underway at UC Berkeley's Transportation Sustainability Research Center is also listed.
The survey of 63 employees of the Office of the Attorney General found that most commute from the Richmond area and drive alone. Two-thirds said they would be more likely to carpool if an emergency ride home program was available. Respondents were willing to drive up to four miles to join a carpool or vanpool and cited lack of flexibility as the primary reason for not currently using alternatives to driving alone. The emergency ride home program was seen as the largest motivating factor for switching to an alternative commute mode.
The document is a report from the American Highway Users Alliance titled "Unclogging America's Arteries 2015" that identifies the 50 worst highway bottlenecks across the United States. It analyzes congestion data to rank bottlenecks based on annual total delay. The worst bottleneck is a 12-mile stretch of I-90 in Chicago that experiences nearly 17 million hours of annual delay. Relieving congestion in the top 30 bottlenecks could save over 35 million gallons of fuel per year and have economic and environmental benefits totaling $39 billion over 20 years. Targeted investments in technology and infrastructure are recommended to address the most severe congestion problems.
Webinar Replay - Sharing the Big Picture on Transit in Metro AtlantaBrian Carr
There are many transit operators in the metro Atlanta region, with service into and out of more places than you may realize. In addition, there are resources for last-mile connectivity, discounted fares, pre-tax benefits and support that make transit options more practical for more workplaces ... even those outside the city center. This webinar features representatives from many of the different regional and county providers, discussing how their their service area contributes to the total network and new developments they are working on. Plus, details on the "Dump the Pump" event taking place June 17-21 in the Atlanta region, as well as how the Commuter Choice program can leverage payroll tax savings.

Google CIC 2012 - Transportation IssuesDavid Wilson
This document discusses improving public transit in Atlanta. It provides background on Atlanta's history, growth, transportation infrastructure and challenges. Ideas are proposed to make transit more attractive and easier to use, such as mobile apps that provide real-time transit information and payment options. Behavioral economics concepts are discussed to understand how to change public perceptions and encourage greater transit use.
The document discusses various topics related to commuting and traffic including rush hours, traffic congestion, commuting times, public transportation efficiency, and carpooling popularity in cities. It also touches on ideas for improving traffic and transportation such as creating car-free zones, providing free public transportation and parking, discussing pros and cons of different modes of transportation, the issue of road rage, causes of traffic accidents, and steps that can be taken to improve safety and limit accidents. Finally, it addresses the process for obtaining a driving license in different countries.
