==Education== Appleyard earned his BA in geography from UC Berkeley in 1989, continuing to a Masters and PhD (2010) in City & Regional Planning, also from UC Berkeley. He joined the School of Public Affairs at San Diego State University (SDSU) in 2013, where he is currently a Professor.
==Career== At SDSU, Appleyard is the Director of Action Institute for Sustainability, Livability, and Equity (AISLE) and Active Transportation Research. Appleyard has co-authored the text book ''The Transportation/Land Use Connection''<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N39MAAAAYAAJ | title=The transportation/Land use connection| last1=Moore| first1=Terry| last2=Thorsnes| first2=Paul| last3=Appleyard| first3=Bruce| date=July 30, 2007| publisher=American Planning Association, Planning Advisory Service| isbn=9781932364422}}</ref> and written scholarly articles on urban issues including transit-oriented development, land-use, sustainability, and livability.<ref>{{cite book | isbn=978-1932364422 | title=Zoning as a Barrier to Multifamily Housing Development | last1=Knaap | first1=Gerrit | last2=Moore | first2=Terry | year=2007 }}</ref>
In 2014, Appleyard and colleagues received a grant from HUD, DOT, and EPA to develop a "Livability Calculator" based on research from more than 350 transportation corridors throughout the United States. The Livability Calculator is a tool to help City Planning Professionals integrate the best planning practices of transport and land-use, access to opportunities, and social equity. Appleyard believes that by improving access to opportunities, people may improve the quality of their lives.<ref>{{Cite journal |doi = 10.3141/2403-08|title = Toward Livability Ethics|journal = Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board|volume = 2403|pages = 62–71|year = 2014|last1 = Appleyard|first1 = Bruce|last2 = Ferrell|first2 = Christopher E.|last3 = Carroll|first3 = Michael A.|last4 = Taecker|first4 = Matthew|s2cid = 110051672}}</ref>
In 2020, he published ''Livable Streets 2.0'', which updates and extends Donald Appleyard's 1981 study of urban design.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wood |first1=Jeff |title=National Links: Induced Demand Justifies Freeways |url=https://streets.mn/2023/03/06/national-links-induced-demand/ |work=Streets.mn |date=March 6, 2023}}</ref>
