DESCRIPTION:Join METRANS on April 17 and learn about Dr. Antonio Bento's re
 search on alternative traffic reduction strategies in Los Angeles.\n\n \n\
 nEven if post COVID-19 employers provide increased opportunities for telec
 ommuting\, Los Angeles traffic will likely continue to be a major problem.
  In February\, Los Angeles METRO announced that it is exploring a new appr
 oach to tackle congestion\, considering congestion pricing coupled with mo
 re high-quality transportation options. Several proposals have been discus
 sed: one option consists of introducing a cordon toll around downtown L.A.
  Another option includes reducing traffic between the L.A. basin and the S
 an Fernando Valley. Yet another would focus on reducing traffic along the 
 I-10 corridor between Santa Monica and downtown L.A. Using big-data from a
  rich network of detectors located on all freeways in Los Angeles that mea
 sure in real-time speed and flow (that is\, car counts)\, this project wil
 l rely on statistical methods and interactive visualization techniques to 
 develop a practical tool for policymakers to infer the effects of alternat
 ive strategies for reducing traffic congestion in Los Angeles.
