California's Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375) included two provisions intended to help streamlineTOD. These provisions have mostly been a bust. Clear lesson for policymakers: Reduce the eligibility requirements for environmental review streamlining provisions. 2/2

Building upon large-scale data sources from the Greater Copenhagen area, Denmark, this paper reveals #UrbanPlanning and design principles within TOD literature that enhance perceived safety at stations and increase the likelihood of choosing #SustainableTransport modes over private cars. (2/2)

In addition, living in a #15MinuteCity increases the intention to move, suggesting that its impact is not as straightforward, highlighting the complexities of residential satisfaction in these environments.

... (being young, living in a small house, having children, and being a renter) are much more relevant to the decision to move than the effects of telework, residential satisfaction, and residential dissonance. (3/4)

This paper examines the role of #telework adoption and preferences in residential relocation, particularly in the context of the #COVID19 #pandemic lockdowns. Push factors for residential mobility... (2/4)

Affluent pedestrians walk primarily for leisure and recreation, meaning they can opt out of environments they feel unsafe in. Lower-income households, by contrast, walk principally for utilitarian reasons, making them less able to avoid unsafe environments.

Lower-income pops are 3 times as likely to be injured or killed while walking vs affluent households. But it's not due to increased exposure, but to the social vulnerabilities associated with the utilitarian nature of walking trips taken by lower-income households.

From 236 studies, the authors synthesized benefits of 35 independent #ActiveTransport interventions to serve as a resource for researchers and practitioners. They found strong evidence that many active transportation interventions produce wide-ranging societal benefits in cost-effective ways. (2/3)

Recommendations include planning for shared bike services that are integrated with #transit in urban areas and promoting mixed land use so that users can choose proximate destinations in dense urban areas.
