Urban Land Use and Transportation Center (ULTRANS)
ULTRANS aims to support the design and implementation of new land use and vehicle demand policies through research, education, and public outreach. The Center’s results-oriented research illuminates the relationship between land use, transportation, and the environment. Models and methods developed at ULTRANS will support the development of policies that encourage sustainable cities and regions.
ULTRANS will help train the next generation of leaders in urban research and policy development. Affiliated students have opportunities to participate in research and outreach on critical issues in addressing climate change.
Extending research findings beyond the university is a top priority for the Center. Information will be disseminated through professional education and service to all levels of decision making bodies and practitioners. ULTRANS currently offers modeling advice and support to the California Department of Transportation, as well as four major Metropolitan Planning Organizations and fourteen smaller Councils of Government in California.
