The 2025 New Jersey Gubernatorial Candidates Transportation Voter Guide was prepared by the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC).
This guide is an objective comparison of the transportation policy positions of the two major candidates, Jack Ciattarelli (Republican) and Mikie Sherrill (Democrat), for the New Jersey gubernatorial election.
Every four years, the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) releases an independent, non-partisan report analyzing the transportation policy positions of New York City’s mayoral candidates. The report is part of a long-standing effort to help voters understand where candidates stand on key mobility issues, from public transit and street safety to taxi, for-hire vehicle, and freight regulation.
This report, prepared by Matthew W. Daus for the National Limousine Association (NLA), provides an in-depth examination of the rising cost of commercial auto insurance for executive sedan, limousine, and broader for-hire vehicle operators across the United States. It is intended to inform industry stakeholders—including operators, insurers, and policymakers—of the systemic challenges contributing to these cost increases and to offer a roadmap for meaningful reform.
This report examines the rise of illegal and unlicensed for-hire vehicle (FHV) operations in New York and New Jersey, focusing on unauthorized taxis, limousines, and off-platform rideshare drivers. It identifies the risks they pose, the regulatory gaps they exploit, and the enforcement challenges confronting state and local authorities.
The publication delves into the challenges and opportunities facing the intercity bus industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the industry's pre-pandemic growth fueled by technological advancements and discusses the severe impact of the pandemic, including a sharp decline in ridership, financial losses, and regulatory hurdles.
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the negative impacts that the proliferation of Transportation Network Companies (“TNCs”) have had on people with disabilities, underserved communities, the environment, social responsibility, and the sharing economy.
This report endeavors to identify and convey best and accepted practices for managing commercial ground transportation at airports during construction and redevelopment projects, including when the construction phase is complete and the project is finished, with specific attention to the redevelopment of John F.

There are three principal types of equity considerations that relate to the distribution of benefits and burdens of congestion pricing: (1) income equity, (2) geographic equity, and (3) modal equity. This report attempts to look at first two, with a specific focus on taxi and for-hire vehicle (“FHV”) services. The benefits and burden of the proposed Central Business District (“CBD”) Tolling Program—commonly referred to as congestion pricing—may not be distributed equally among all drivers and passengers of taxi and FHV services. There are several key findings from this report.
UTRC assembled a Transportation Policy Advisory Committee for the upcoming 2021 NYC Election and just released a report summarizing candidates’ positions on transportation issues.
Development of a biological control program for invasive Phagmites australis australis in North America required 20 years of careful research, and consideration of management alternatives. A recent paper by Kiviat et al. (Biol Invasions 21:2529–2541, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530- 019-02014-9) articulates opposition to this biocontrol program and questions the ethics and thoroughness of the researchers. Here we address inaccuracies and misleading statements presented in Kiviat et al.
