The research team used the Los Angeles MATSim model to evaluate the travel, greenhouse gas(GHGs), and equity impacts of single-and multiple-passenger automated taxi scenarios, including free transit fares and a VMT tax.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis assessed and scored over 30 CAPs released between 2009 and 2020 based on the degree to which they addressed three themes: emissions reductions, cost, and equity, and developed a set of guiding questions to assist jurisdictions in developing CAPs that include equity considerations both broadly and by specific sector.

This study examines whether bikeshare systems have targeted specific populations and quantitatively assesses the potential for bikeshare systems to provide greater accessibility for underserved communities.

The main goal of this dissertation was to explore ways to change and improve efforts by local jurisdictions to mitigate climate change.
