This research explores the range of tangible benefits that the implementation of transportation electrification programs can achieve for disadvantaged communities.
This research aims to develop an equitable and sustainable freight‐oriented land use methodology to support future planning activities, facilitate the integration of freight activity across urban, suburban, and rural areas, and facilitate the transition of heavy‐ and medium‐duty vehicles toward zero‐emission. The project will analyze freight distribution patterns considering supply and demand and estimate social, environmental, and labor impacts in different communities.
This report develops an equitable and sustainable freight-oriented land use (LU) methodology to support future planning activities, enabling the integration of freight activity across urban, suburban, and rural areas and facilitating the transition of heavy- and medium-duty vehicles toward zero-emission.
The goal of this research is to identify how rural zero-car households in California meet their transportation needs, and what policy solutions might improve access and mobility for these households.
In this study, the researcher team proposes to conduct research on the impacts of SAEVs specifically on lower income and disadvantaged communities in California.
The immaturity of microtransit relative to conventional fixed route transit means that the benefits and challenges of microtransit in rural areas are still not fully understood. This project aims to identify these benefits and challenges through the evaluation of a case study microtransit system—the Yolobus BeeLine.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis and the Technical University of Berlin evaluated questions around the impacts of automated vehicles by simulating three scenarios in the Westside Cities area using an open-source, dynamic, agent-based travel model called MATSim, then calculated the benefits of each scenario compared to the base case for various income groups.
In this study, the researchers will measure the gaseous pollutants from the off-gassing of tires during laboratory and real-world testing conditions. The researchers will also evaluate the secondary organic aerosol forming potential from the off-gassing of tires during only laboratory conditions using state-of-the-art instrumentation.
