ACCESS Magazine that existed in print from 1992 and 2017[1] reports on research at the University of California Transportation Center and the University of California Center on Economic Competitiveness (UCCONNECT). The goal is to translate academic research into readable prose that is useful for policymakers and practitioners. Articles in ACCESS are intended to catapult academic research into debates about public policy, and convert knowledge into action. Authors of papers reporting on research here are solely responsible for their content. Much of the research appearing in ACCESS was sponsored by the US Department of Transportation and the California Department of Transportation, neither of which is liable for its content or use.[citation needed]
