Assessing Transportation Equity in California ZEV Incentives at Participating Dealerships

Principal Investigator Aviv Steren
University of California, Davis

This study aims to identify the existing bias, barriers, gaps, in zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales processes as well as the inventory and source of used ZEVs at the participating dealerships that hinder larger adoption of ZEVs, specifically in the low-middle income and disadvantaged communities households in California.

Can California Sustain Its Commitment to Providing Zero-Emission Vehicle Rebates?

Research Product Type

Policy Brief

This policy brief summarizes findings from a study that developed six alternative fee structure scenarios, each capable of raising $200 million per year, to explore equity implications of a fee system in California.

E-bike Incentive Programs Reduce GHGs and Support Recreational Travel

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.

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.

Examining e-Bike Rebates in California

Principal Investigator Dillon Fitch-Polse, Ph.D.
University of California, Davis

Given the increase in demand and incentives for e-bicycling; this project seeks to evaluate the behavioral effects (change in bicycling, driving, use of transit) of these incentives to help guide future policy interventions for e-bicycling. The researchers will examine these changes based on survey data, and will propose future study designs for more in-depth analyses and evaluations of e-bike incentives.
