Searching for Bipartisanship In an Era of Partisanship: Lessons from Federal Transportation Policy
Dates: May 30
Historically transportation policy has been among the least partisan realms of federal policy-making. And indeed, the new surface transportation bill signed into law by President Obama last year was a legislative success in a Congress marred by deep partisan rifts in many other areas of public policy. In this panel we will hear from two knowledgeable and respected federal transportation policy experts who have in recent years led a concerted effort to effect meaningful transportation policy change and find common ground across increasingly sharply drawn political lines in Washington.

Optimization of maintenance and replacement policies for a system of
Dates: Apr 25
This research addresses the determination of optimal maintenance and replacement policies for a system of heterogeneous facilities. The problem of optimizing maintenance and replacement policies at the system level is formulated in a reliability-based framework, based on policies that are optimal at the facility level. The facility-level policies are determined using a finite-state, finite horizon Markov decision process in which the state of the Markov chain contains information on the history of maintenance and deterioration.
Optimality conditions for the continuous-case system-level problem are derived and explained intuitively. A numerical study shows that the results obtained in the discrete-case implementation of the solution are valid approximations of the continuous-case results. The computational efficiency of the system-level solution makes the formulation suitable for systems of realistic sizes.

The Cable Car Meets the Freeway: A North-South Exchange
Dates: Dec 8
Popular lore holds that California's two most prominent cities define two faces of California--the dense old world in the north and the auto-metropolis in the south. But it's easy to focus on icons that belie the true nature of their urban fabric when, in fact, these two great cities share so much. Both are struggling to balance growth, affordability and livability; civic identity with regionalism; and local ambitions with state rules that complicate financing and often favor sprawl over density. And both are learning from each other as they lead California into the 21st century.
