Member of American Public Transit Association working group on climate change credits and standards. Integrated Land Use/Transportation Planning Project manager on a national study of travel generation characteristics of mixed -use development projects for the US EPA and Institute of Transportation Engineers. Developed performance measures for transportation planning and design decisions for the California Department of Transportation as key element of the Caltrans Smart Mobility Framework and Handbook. Directed region -wide study of smart growth trip generation for the San Diego Association of Governments. Led development of smart growth travel forecasting methods for Sacramento Regional Blueprint study. Principal investigator on establishing new procedures and tools for evaluating wide -scale growth impacts in San Joaquin Valley Growth Response study. Led transportation assessment for countywide Smart Growth planning in Contra Costa County and in San Luis Obispo County, California. Senior advisor and director of transportation elements for Minneapolis /St. Paul Metropolitan Region Smart Growth Study and Atlanta Regional Cores and Corridors Study. Developed innovative "5D" modeling tools for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and regional planning organizations to evaluate transportation effects of different growth policies. Performed comparative evaluation of infill site design concepts and infill /greenfield comparisons for Atlanta's landmark Atlantic Station project and major master - planned communities in South Carolina, Utah and California. Travel Models and Demand Forecasting Directed development of direct demand ridership forecasting models for concept screening, alternatives analysis and transit access and TOD planning for rapid rail (BART), commuter rail (Caltrain), and light rail transit systems in Denver, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego and Portland. Performed long -range travel demand forecasting, using sophisticated models for cities such as Caracas, Venezuela; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Edmonton, Canada; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, Califomia; and other major metropolitan regions. Formulated and calibrated citywide and countywide models for over a dozen jurisdictions using prominent software packages. Developed techniques to enhance or substitute for conventional 4 -step models for prediction of travel- reducing effects of Smart Growth principles of density, diversity, design and regional - accessibility. Directed modeling applications in the Atlanta, Minneapolis /St. Paul, San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento regions.
