This project will address limitations in the current literature surrounding air quality impacts of vehicle traffic, especially in underserved communities. The team will employ a refined near-roadway emission exposure surrogate that balances spatial precision and computational burden to estimate changes in exposure levels and health risks and the distribution of these burdens over time as EV adoption increases.

This project evaluates the relationships between EV adoption, home charger installation, and housing characteristics as well as the costs of home charging installation for homes of different types in the City of Burlington, Vermont. The project also investigates the sociodemographic makeup of residents living in homes with greater barriers to home charging using national data.

This project aims to understand the motivations and impacts behind long-distance travel, with special focus on equity aspects.

This study will collect real-world driving data in the mountainous and largely rural northern state of Vermont to determine how plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) use and performance differ across these contexts and for different vehicle types.

This project evaluates how different planning agencies may prepare for future climate change threats.

This study examined the state of employee retention and knowledge management in the Vermont Agency of Transportation.

This project documents key skill profiles and competency sets needed for a career in transportation sector climate adaptation, as well as the educational and training opportunities available for developing these proficiencies.

This white paper reviews the state of the practice and knowledge for climate adaptation processes at state departments of transportation and local transportation agencies. It also has interviews with stakeholders and reviews of recent literature.

This project will use detailed Vermont vehicle data to evaluate the performance of Vermont’s clean transportation incentive programs.

This project is intended to examine the impacts of alternative AV scenarios on statewide VMT for the state of Vermont to better understand VMT changes across the urban/rural spectrum and enhance the capacity of policymakers to plan for AV deployment.
