Metro Bakersfield System Study 2002
Analyzed over 20 alternatives for a System-wide approach to solve transportation issues Used Imagery extensively. Cost not billed by consult: $90,000.
Bakersfield System Study
Used GIS to distribute housing and employment forecast for modelingProvided decision makers information to delay implementation of light rail beyond 2014GIS and Travel Demand Model Demonstrated that Ridership on light rail:
700 passengers per mile 2000 needed for fundability.

Preliminary 2030 Smart Growth Scenario Modeling
Build 20% of the new housing over the next 30 years in in-fill areasReduces VMT by 228,000 or 1.5% of the forecasted increase in VMT over next 30 yrs.Minor congestion relievedRail and Pedestrian More ViableImproved Air Quality.
