Interstate 11: The Road To Prosperity In Nevada, Arthur C. Nelson
Interstate 11: The Road To Prosperity In Nevada, Arthur C. Nelson
Policy Briefs and Reports
Interstate 11 (I-11) offers Nevada a unique opportunity to advance the economic development prospects of one of the state’s most economically challenged areas: Elko and eastern Nevada. Although the state used a qualitative system to choose a western route for I-11, this process may not have considered fully the costs of extending I-11 to Canada in a cost-effective manner or in a manner consistent with I-11 purposes, especially avoiding congested areas. This briefing report reviews the history and purposes of I-11; summarizes the I-11 route options; considers how I-11 might extend to Canada in a way that is consistent with …

Low-Income Household Adults Sustaining Affordable Housing In Affluent Neighborhoods, Edward Brian Flournoy
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Public housing policy continues to exacerbate the concentration of poverty for low

implementation of public housing policy for LIHA has been elusive for policymakers
seeking to address socioeconomic self-sufficiency problems in the United States.
Wilson’s spatial mismatch theory on social transformation of the inner city was the
theoretical framework for this study. This qualitative study utilized policy analysis and
key interviews to explore the importance of public policy design and implementation in
how the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) program influenced …
The Impact Of Transportation Network Companies On Public Transit: A Case Study At The San Francisco International Airport, Lianne Renee Sturgeon
The Impact Of Transportation Network Companies On Public Transit: A Case Study At The San Francisco International Airport, Lianne Renee Sturgeon
Scripps Senior Theses
The emergence and rapid growth of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft, has challenged the transportation industry by offering a new mode of transportation to consumers. It is imperative that transit agencies and cities understand the effect of TNCs on public transit usage to make informed decisions. This study analyzes the impact of TNCs on Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) ridership at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to measure the effect of TNCs on public transit. Using a fixed effects model to analyze hourly BART and TNC ridership data from 2011 to 2018, these findings suggest …
