This thesis shows the research results conducted in the East Valley of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area and the thematic analysis of that data. Data were collected from a small sample of interviews conducted by the researcher with staff of homeless outreach organizations and clients of those organizations. A thematic analysis of the interview data was conducted. The resulting analysis shows that a more significant focus should be placed on reducing the number of clients in need who decline to use their services by improving safety, trust, and access to resources and that organizations would benefit from more consistent funding and a more considerable amount. Finally, as this thesis shows, both organizations and their clients tend to agree that a lack of access to helpful resources is a more significant problem than a lack of resources.

Cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transportation. Bikes are critical for addressing climate change, and contribute to a more active population, safer streets, and lower household expenditures on transportation. Given this, understanding how existing cycling infrastructure is being used, including where and when, helps decision makers know what to invest in. This project does exactly that, counting cyclists and other active travel users in the city of Tempe across a whole day, and across the whole north of the city. Cycling in Tempe is already attractive in some areas of the city, but not others. The findings from this project were shared with stakeholders and community members in an interactive web map.
