The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is taking clear steps toward a future with zero traffic deaths and serious injuries—aligning with the growing national movement and tailoring it to their local context. Their Vision Zero Action Plan lays out practical, coordinated strategies to make streets safer for everyone.
It was great to support their team in shaping the plan’s structure and story, helping visually communicate priorities and chart a clear path for action. Explore more on Behance.

Driving Less Starts with Building Differently
How much can planning decisions actually reduce driving? Our latest research introduces a statistical model that links built environment choices—such as density, transit service, walkability, and land use mix—to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The findings give planners and policymakers practical, evidence-based tools to evaluate scenarios, understand tradeoffs, and make more informed transportation and land use decisions.
Navigating VMT Under CEQA
VMT under CEQA continues to evolve as agencies, practitioners, and decision makers work through analysis methods, mitigation feasibility, and defensible evidence. Our new Q&A resource offers practical answers on vehicle miles traveled, SB 743, mitigation program design, implementation, administration, and legal and strategic considerations.
Demand Management Is Injury Prevention
New research shows that reducing driving exposure may be one of the most powerful safety strategies available. The findings connect VMT, mode share, and travel time to fatality rates, reframing demand management as injury prevention.
