This project will study the factors influencing the total cost of ownership and operation of Plug-In Electric Vehicles and how policies like CAFE and fuel/electricity price trends impact the comparative costs of internal combustion engines and plug-in electric vehicles.

This project addresses the need to increase access to grant funds to develop electric vehicle (EV) carsharing in underserved communities, particularly in rural and suburban areas. The research team designed this translational research project to engage communities interested in developing electric carsharing programs.

This project studies the potential of renewable hydrogen fueling / fast EV charging stations at California Highway Safety Rest Areas (HSRA).

This research will create a comprehensive and streamlined framework that empowers Caltrans to efficiently identify and assess technically sound, environmentally sustainable, and economically feasible materials.

This report proposes a machine-learning-based sidewalk digitization method, taking full advantage of roadway networks to reconstruct an initialized (connected) sidewalk network.

This report evaluates the market status and potential freight market penetration of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) and near-ZEVs in the medium and heavy duty class within the California market. It focuses on intra-urban rather than long-haul deployment scenarios.

This project develops a tool to help Sacramento-area planners understand the positive and negative public health impacts of active transportation.

This project applies life cycle analysis to develop a framework for understanding the impacts of California freight operations.

This project investigates the impacts of California highways on coyote dispersal and gene flow.

The objectives of this project are to expand the previous work to evaluate the potential benefits of dockless systems to improve accessibility to disadvantaged communities, and to compare them with dock‐based systems. Specifically, the project will analyze the difference in service levels among dock‐based and dockless systems.
