White Paper

This white paper presents a behavioral framework to understand and measure the impacts of eco-driving.

In this paper, the authors consider the evidence available and assumptions needed for projecting statewide vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reductions for each category of strategies.

This white paper evaluates different transportation funding reforms, with specific focus on funding sustainability, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

This paper studies the intersection of policies promoting affordable housing, transit-oriented developments (TODs), and the reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in metropolitan areas.

This white paper reviews the complex systems through which California generates and allocates state revenue for transportation investment. It finds that the state’s framework for funding transportation is disconnected from its climate goals.

This white paper presents a five-step framework for adapting transportation systems to climate change scenarios: inventorying and monitoring transportation assets; assessing climate threats; evaluating the vulnerability of assets; prioritizing assets; and identifying and executing adaptation actions.

This study explores the potential climate change benefits for carsharing services and the need for these services in underserved areas, and discusses the evolution of carsharing in the U.S.

This white paper examines the co-benefits of reducing vehicles miles of travel. Examples include reductions in air pollutant emissions, water pollution, wildlife mortality, and traffic congestion, as well as improvements in safety and health, and savings in public and private costs.

Researchers simulated the implementation of transit eco-driving strategies, based on the modal emissions modeling framework employed by the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) designed to reduce engine load and emissions.
