Abstract:
Kenneth A. Small is Associate Editor of Transportation Research B as well as on the editorial boards of four other professional journals. He previously served as Co-Editor of Urban Studies. He has advised the Canadian Royal Commission on National Passenger Transportation, the European Union, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (where he served on a scientific advisory committee), and the World Bank. He served on three study committees of the National Research Council, most recently one that examined a federal program on congestion management and air quality. At Irvine, he has served as Chair and Vice Chair of Economics and Associate Dean of Social Sciences.

Recent research has concentrated on urban highway congestion, analysis of toll-lane demonstration projects, measurement of value of time and reliability, effects of highway pricing on public transit, and the role of fuel taxes in managing congestion, pollution, and accidents associated with motor vehicle travel.
