Issue 11 of Transfers Magazine, the biannual digital magazine of the Pacific Southwest Region UTC edited by a team of UCLA faculty, staff and students, was published this month.

The new issue features four articles that each address an assumption or belief related to the transportation system, which the authors question. How can we mitigate the economic burden of carlessness in car-oriented areas? Can curb parking difficulties be solved through demand-based pricing? Are one-way streets really more efficient than two-way? Why isn’t alternative fuel usage for heavy-duty vehicles becoming as widespread as it needs to be?

All of the articles in this issue situate our existing conditions and suggest innovative ways to proceed.
