Transfers Magazine, the biannual digital magazine of the Pacific Southwest Region UTC edited by a team of UCLA faculty, staff and students, published its most recent issue earlier this month. In this edition of Transfers, we swing between the old and the new, considering timeless questions — Just how much does the built environment influence travel behavior? How can we measure, and thus achieve, the elusive goal of access? And how can we encourage people in cars not to travel alone? — in the context of brand-new research.

As this issue goes to press, we seem caught between the past and present, and unsure if the old is, for better or worse, gone for good. We hope that the articles in this issue can shed light on how transportation fits into this uncertain future.

Check out the articles from the latest issue:
