This first introductory episode focuses on a general background of the two different cities of Riverside and Long Beach, how they are related, the different characteristics of those cities, and how they are involved in the transportation sustainability issue.
This second episode focuses on the local opinions of people who we interviewed (kept anonymously and identified in full transcripts based on physical features) who wanted to provide some insight into how the public transit systems of Riverside and Long Beach could be improved from their perspective or how it had benefitted them. Our insights are also paired with the local opinions to give context.
This third episode will focus on expert analyses from a team of expert panelists who we interviewed here at the University of California, Irvine. They were chosen based on their expertise in the field of transportation systems, travel behavior, urban design of transportation systems, and in particular on transportation system sustainability. This expert analysis is paired with our insights as well.
The fourth episode provides some insight into our research on the subject matter and our analysis. We propose some of the responses to the expert panel and local opinions and continue to expand them further. We dive into the subject of transportation sustainability from an academia standpoint and from our student perspective as well. We have a conversation on proposing the real problems in some depth.
The fifth and final episode of this podcast series is about proposing real solutions to both Riverside and Long Beach City Council based on all of the information that we have gathered up to this point. These solutions are based on research-based transportation studies and how the cities could be individualized to maintain sustainability efforts. We offer solutions on a grand scale and keep it general, so that future sustainable transportation systems may thrive.
