Abstract

This report identifies and summarizes the empirical evidence on potential mitigation measures for State Highway System (SHS) projects. For each of the measures on the list, the research team completed a systematic search of the academic literature to identify studies meeting specified search criteria, focusing on studies from the last decade but drawing on older studies when helpful for selected topics. In each of the sections of the report, the criteria for and results of those searches are summarized, including, where possible, the estimated size of the effect of the measure on vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The quantity and quality of the evidence varies widely across the measures: some measures have strong evidence in support of their use for VMT mitigation, while others have limited evidence as to the impact or good evidence of a limited impact; for some measures, no direct empirical evidence is available. A companion report assesses the available methods for estimating the effectiveness of the potential VMT mitigation measures.
