complete streets

Researchers surveyed all 50 state departments of transportation and conducted in-depth interviews with agency experts to understand the implementation status of complete streets asset management, identify what state transportation agencies need to improve their asset management plans, and develop a road map for implementing complete streets asset management.

“Complete streets” is a design concept for primarily urban streets and intersections (existing and/or new) intended to encourage active transportation by bicyclists and pedestrians by making streets safer, convenient, and attractive for active transportation. This project seeks to provide insight into specific and different potential benefits of a given complete streets project.

This dataset includes the data used for the regression analysis of the associated project. Variable names are listed in the top row, as well as more detailed definitions in variable definition worksheets.

Many gaps exist to include Complete Streets in asset management, and there is no comprehensive plan for filling those gaps. This project developed a road map to fill those gaps.

A research team at the University of Southern California collaborated with Lime, an e-scooter company, to analyze Slow Streets programs in the cities of Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland. Using two statistical approaches, they examined dockless e-scooter travel at four different times of day and overall weekly and monthly averages of dockless e-scooter trips. 

This project studies four slow street programs in the U.S.—in Los Angeles, Portland, Oakland, and San Francisco—to study the impact of slow streets on non-motorized travel. Dockless scooter travel is used for the empirical analysis.
