Transition to a Carbon-Neutral Economy

What does it fund?

Research studies focused on the state’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045:

Study 1: Identify strategies to significantly reduce transportation-related fossil fuel demand and emissions.

Study 2: Identify strategies to strategically and responsibly manage the decline of transportation-related fossil fuel supply.

The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies received funding for Study 1. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara received funding for Study 2.

Both studies center equity as one of the guiding principles and recommend actions that would benefit disadvantage communities.

CalEPA contracted with two University of California research groups.

No additional funds are available at this time.
