Research Product Type

Policy Brief

As yet, little is known about the efficacy of e-bike incentive programs in changing travel behavior. To understand the potential of these programs in this area, UC Davis researchers analyzed survey data from rebate recipients in Northern California and evaluated rebate programs for effects of e-bike ownership on travel behavior.

Empirical analysis of the role of incentives in zero-emission last-mile deliveries in California

Research Product Type

Associated Publication

This paper evaluates the role of incentives for zero and near-zero emission vehicle (ZEV) technologies in last-mile delivery operations. Specifically, the study investigates the total cost of ownership and life cycle environmental impacts associated with last-mile deliveries, and compares the private and public costs of different vehicle powertrain and fuel pathways, under existing incentives in the State of California.

Equity Impacts of Fee Systems to Support Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales in California

This webinar highlighted new analysis from ITS-Davis that examines six hypothetical fee structure scenarios that could provide a sustainable source of funding for California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program.
