Planning Shoreline’s Shared-Use Future
Getting around Shoreline, WA could soon be easier—thanks to shared-use mobility hubs that support everything from taking the bus, parking your bike, and grabbing a rideshare. The city is exploring shared spaces that bring different travel options together in one place, with the goal of making everyday trips simpler and more sustainable.
It’s been exciting to support Shoreline’s early vision, using visual storytelling to bring stakeholders together around what’s possible. Take a look on Behance to see how this people-centered approach is beginning to take shape.

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.
