This document summarizes a study analyzing Metro's approach to integrating bicycling and transit in Los Angeles County. The study found that Metro prioritized "bike-transit hubs" near high transit areas but did not consider bike network data. Through census and spatial data analysis, the study identified Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, college student status, owner-occupied housing, and proximity to bike facilities as significant predictors of bicycling rates. The study recommends Metro gather more data, diversify planning methods, and find innovative implementation approaches to improve bike-transit integration.

1) The document discusses using a simulation model to study the potential impact of increased HIV testing rates and changes to when antiretroviral therapy (ART) is initiated on HIV incidence in men who have sex with men (MSM) in the UK.
2) The model results suggest that increasing testing rates and initiating ART at diagnosis could reduce annual new HIV infections by up to 64% by 2030, but ongoing high levels of condomless sex and poorer adherence to ART treatment may limit these prevention benefits.
3) For HIV incidence to fall below 1 per 1000 people per year, the analysis finds that the proportion of all MSM with suppressed viral loads would need to increase from the current approximately 60%

Modelling in an imperfect world
This document discusses improving transport demand modelling to better account for human behavior. It notes that current models assume rational actors that maximize utility, but real people are partly rational and emotional. Two ways people make decisions are outlined: fast intuitive "System 1" thinking and slower logical "System 2" thinking. Models need to incorporate behavioral factors like loss aversion, diminishing sensitivity to changes, and how people remember past experiences. The document also addresses problems with current models like separating payment from use and lags in behavioral responses. Potential solutions proposed include nested choice structures and separating different response timescales. Better interpreting model results and acknowledging uncertainty is important for policy advice, planning and forecasting.

Kent Olsen of PB AMERICAS Inc. gave a presentation on public-private partnerships at a 2008 transportation forum. He discussed what PPPs are, their history of use for transportation projects in the 19th and 20th centuries, and their potential advantages and disadvantages. PPPs can provide additional funding, risk sharing, and faster project delivery through private capital investment. However, they also mean less public control and long-term commitments. To encourage more PPPs, the public sector should define projects well, streamline processes, and draw on lessons from other PPP transportation projects.

Energy is a critical element. Felix Oduyemi, a senior program manager at SCE, and Michael Woo, dean of the School of Environmental Design at Cal Poly Pomona, discuss the importance of energy. Their talk will likely focus on energy issues and solutions.
Clean Air, Clean Energy, Clean Transportation, Making the Connections
The document discusses air quality and pollution reduction efforts in the South Coast Air Basin. It provides background on key air pollutants like ozone and fine particulates, historical trends that show improvements but challenges ahead to meet standards. Graphics show modeled cancer risk and the "black box" gap between baseline emissions and the amount needed to meet ozone standards. The presentation discusses making further progress through coordinated strategies while accommodating growth.
Interrelated Challenges
The document discusses several interrelated challenges facing the SCAG region: growth and congestion; freight movement; air quality and the environment; energy, fuels, and prices; transportation finance; and economics and institutions. It notes that the SCAG region is forecast to grow by 28% in population and 27% in employment by 2035, adding over 5 million new residents. This growth will make the region more diverse and older, with nearly 30% of the population over 65 by 2025 compared to 11% in 2000. This aging population will place new demands on transportation and affect income taxes.
Tale 11 learnings_next_steps
The document discusses several major learnings:
1) Governance systems with fixed boundaries are inadequate for issues like air quality and energy that cross boundaries, requiring collaboration between agencies.
2) Technological information systems can model complex systems but cannot replace human judgment of place.
3) Infrastructure, education, manufacturing, and environmental conservation are needed to build regional capital for future sustainability.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation in the Inland Empire region of Southern California under SB 375. It notes the automobile dominance, local government fragmentation, and existing built form as challenges. Opportunities include complementing density with walkable mixed uses, transit-oriented development, and pricing policies. Research shows residents of compact, transit-oriented developments drive less and use transit more for both work and non-work trips compared to surrounding areas. Local and regional partnerships are needed to change land use patterns and transportation options to meet emissions reduction targets.

Senate Bill 375 aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by encouraging sustainable communities and coordinated transportation and housing planning among California regions. It establishes regional greenhouse gas reduction targets and requires Metropolitan Planning Organizations to develop Sustainable Community Strategies to integrate transportation, housing, and land-use planning to meet the targets. The bill was signed into law in 2008 and seeks to decrease vehicle miles traveled through smart growth development patterns and increasing housing and transportation options.
