This policy brief summarizes research that suggests that the combination of significantly improved vehicle efficiency coupled with very low-carbon fuels can help the trucking sector reach greenhouse gas targets.

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 policy brief discusses how metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) can develop their workforces in order to keep up with changing technological and environmental conditions.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis developed a decision support framework for local governments to assess life cycle greenhouse gas reductions and costs of Climate Action Plan strategies. The researchers demonstrated their approach by developing marginal abatement cost curves for two California counties, Yolo and Unincorporated Los Angeles, based on strategies from their respective Climate Action Plans. This policy brief summarizes findings from that research.
