Appleyard earned his BA in Geography from UC Berkeley in 1989, and a Masters in City & Regional Planning from UC Berkeley. He holds a PhD in City & Regional Planning from UC Berkeley also. He is currently an Assistant Professor at San Diego State University, which he joined in 2013. Appleyard has co-authored the text book The Transportation/Land Use Connection[3] and written scholarly articles & abstracts published in professional journals and edited volumes.[4]

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.[5]
