Transportation researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) used a state-of-the-art transportation simulation based on a Nobel-Prize winning model and found that the gondola has limited impact - less than 1% - in reducing traffic on major roads around Dodger Stadium on the night of a sold-out game. They also found that far fewer passengers would likely get to the gondola via public transit connections than LA ART claims. Without reducing traffic and increasing public transit connections, the gondola does little to change our air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
