    AUTONOMOUS POTENTIAL: COMPLETE STREETS IN AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE FUTURE
    (Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management, University of Oregon, 2018) Nappa, Stephanie; Marc Schlossberg
    Our transportation system is likely to face significant changes through the adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The challenge for urban planners is to ensure city goals of increased safety, sustainability, and equity on our streets will continue to be supported through these changes. Many cities are working towards these three goals by encouraging active transportation modes: walking, bicycling, and the use of public transit. This project identifies the opportunities and challenges that AVs can provide for improving active transportation through street design.

    Barriers to Active Transportation Among Female-Identifying Students at the University of Oregon
    (Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management, University of Oregon, 2020) Menard, Miranda; Menard
    Communities in the United States are pushing to improve the sustainability of their transportation systems by replacing automobile travel with active transportation. (Schneider, 2013). Identifying and addressing the many challenges in safety, equity and accessibility of active transportation is required to encourage more users of active transport in communities, college campus communities included. The University of Oregon, like many campuses wants to promote and increase active transportation. This is due to congestion, high demand for parking and pressures on environmental impacts. The barriers female-identifying UO students—and university students more broadly—face to active transportation needs to be explored more thoroughly for the UO. This paper identifies the barriers female students at the UO face to active transportation and offers recommendations for how to mitigate these barriers. I ask two related research questions: 1) What are the barriers that female students at the University of Oregon encounter with active transportation? And 2) what can be done to mitigate these barriers?

    Developing a Multi-Use Trail System in Reedley, California: A Prefeasibility Study
    (Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management, University of Oregon, 2020) Chilingerian, Jenna; Lewis
    This prefeasibility study has been conducted in partnership with the City of Reedley and builds on the City’s ongoing efforts to (1) determine the feasibility of expanding its existing multi-use trail corridor, the Reedley Parkway, and (2) successively develop the Reedley Parkway Master Plan. The aim of the prefeasibility study is to serve as a preliminary planning step that informs the City’s future analysis and planning efforts. To meet these objectives, this project consisted of a mixed-methods approach including advisory meetings, fieldwork, GIS and map analysis, content analysis, and interviews. Specifically, this report identifies and summarizes existing conditions for trail development in Reedley; a planning and decision-making framework for trail development; assessment and analysis of the potential Parkway expansion; and, Reedley-specific implementation recommendations and next steps.
