  • Political Partisanship and Transportation Reform

    Open AccessNicholas J Klein, Kelcie Ralph et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Planning…2022

    Problem, research strategy, and findings Support for transportation policies and investments is increasingly shaped by partisan ideals. Less well documented is the role of partisanship relative to potential mediating factors like transportation-related values, beliefs about the possibility of change, self-interest, and knowledge. We surveyed a representative sample of 600 U.S. adults about these factors, their political ideology, and their willin…

  • Are Transportation Planning Views Shared by Engineering Students and the Public

    Open AccessKelcie Ralph, Nicholas J Klein et al.ARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2022Cited by: 1References: 5

    We surveyed transportation students and the U.S. public to explore consensus and divergence in policy preferences. We find considerable agreement among planning students, which may be a strength—it is easier to pursue shared goals—or a weakness—too much consensus can lead to echo chambers and disconnection. Engineering students and the public shared some planner-preferred views (like expanding transit) but disagreed with planning students about t…

  • The End of Speed Traps and Ticket Quotas: Re-framing and Reforming Traffic Cameras to Increase Support

    Open AccessKelcie Ralph, Jesus M Barajas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2022References: 7

    The U.S. public is skeptical of speed cameras because they are seen as revenue generators. Many cities do indeed raise funds via traffic tickets, although they are primarily issued by police officers, not cameras. Ironically, cameras are poor long-term sources of revenue and therefore can directly address revenue concerns. Our survey of the U.S. public shows concerns about revenue are associated with greater opposition to cameras and greater dist…

  • A resurgence in urban living? Trends in residential location patterns of young and older adults since 2000

    Evelyn A Blumenberg, Anne Brown et al.ARTICLEUrban Geography2019Cited by: 3References: 6

    Some have heralded a resurgence of urban living in the U.S., particularly among young adults. Are Americans abandoning suburbs in favor of more urban lifestyles? What is the scope and scale of this urban resurgence? We develop a typology of neighborhoods to analyze the residential location of young and older U.S. adults from 2000 to 2011–15. Census and national travel survey data reveal that suburban population growth continues to outpace that in…

  • Childhood Car Access: Long-term Consequences for Education, Employment, and Earnings

    Open AccessKelcie Ralph, Kelcie M RalphARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2018Cited by: 2References: 7

    Do children suffer long-term consequences when they grow up without a car? To answer that question, this article uses propensity score matching and longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Young adults who were carless as children completed less education, worked for pay less often, experienced more unemployment, and earned less than their matched peers with consistent car access. The matching process allows me to compare like t…

  • Multimodal Millennials? The Four Traveler Types of Young People in the United States in 2009

    Open AccessKelcie Ralph, Kelcie M RalphARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2016Cited by: 11References: 2

    Are young Americans embracing a mix of travel modes? This article identifies four types of travelers to answer that question. Drivers travel almost exclusively by automobile; Long-distance Trekkers drive great distances; Multimodals use a mix of modes; and the Car-less rely on nonautomobile modes and make very few trips. Multimodals were exceedingly rare and eight in ten Millennials used an automobile for nearly every trip as a Driver or Long-dis…

  • What Explains the Gender Gap in Schlepping? Testing Various Explanations for Gender Differences in Household‐Serving Travel

    Open AccessBrian D Taylor, Kelcie Ralph et al.ARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2015References: 23

    Objectives Many gender differences in travel have begun to converge. Has convergence occurred for household‐serving travel, which constitutes a very large and growing share of all trips? Moreover, what explains the division of household‐serving travel in heterosexual couples? In answering these questions, we test the salience of three theories about the gendered division of household labor: (1) time availability, (2) microeconomic, and (3) gender…
