This project examines the potential for single-occupancy drivers to use public transit in their morning commutes. (For the final project, the researchers switched the study location from the Sacramento area to the San Francisco Bay area.)
This project provides energy and environment policy makers with both an up-to-date review of eco-driving outcomes and an understanding of how those outcomes depend on the behavioral contexts in which they are measured.
This white paper is written to be a practitioner’s guide to the extensive academic literature that provides evidence of policy effectiveness in reducing vehicle miles travelled (VMT). It compares the costs and benefits of various VMT reduction policies.
This research is focused on the development of recommendations and guidance on the use of thin bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (BCOA) as a rehabilitation alternative for California based on the
This project will investigate the unique challenges and barriers faced by landlords and management of Multi-Unit Dwellings in deploying EV charging infrastructure, with a focus on equity considerations and community engagement.
