About

Zhan Guo studies transportation and land use, public transit, and pedestrian behavior.  His research interest is to understand the multiple travel options faced by individual travelers and how government policies could affect the availability of these options and the subsequent individual decisions.  His research has focused on two interesting and interconnected questions.  First, how does the governmental regulation over the built environment (e.g. land use planning and infrastructure investment) limit travel options and encourage one particular travel means-car driving?  Second, how do travelers perceive different travel options? Could we reinforce, change, or even deceive that perception in order to promote the "right" behavior.  Within this framework, He has conducted empirical studies in Boston, Chicago, London, Portland, and New York City.  Below are recent and ongoing research projects.
