Highlights
- Zero-emission long-haul trucking technologies are being developed that can play a critical role in achieving California’s climate change goals and virtually eliminate air pollution from these vehicles
- From 2011–2017, the share of alternative fuels in California’s transportation energy grew from 6.1 percent to 8.5 percent. Of alternative fuel energy, the portion coming from non-liquid fuels increased from 7.6 percent to 13.5 percent over the period
- Professor Sperling talks to the Union of Concerned Scientists about the 3Revolutions in Transportation: Electrification, Automation and Sharing
- Lew Fulton chairs session at UC Davis side event at GCAS
- The CCPM3 Workshop Report and Recommendations for the State of California is available
- Lew Fulton on Fuel Strategies Podcast
- Three revolutions are underway in urban transportation around the world: vehicle electrification, automation, and shared (on-demand) mobility. We do not yet know the manner in which each of these will unfold or how they may interact; the way in which these changes take place will have major implications for cities over the coming decades.

Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways:
A Research Summary for Decision Makers
Edited by Joan Ogden and Lorraine Anderson
UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies
The STEPS 2007-2010 program conducted robust, impartial, comparative analyses of different fuel and vehicle pathways, drawing on engineering, economics, environmental science, and consumer behavior. In this book, researchers synthesize key insights from the STEPS program, informing decision makers in industry and government about the potential costs and benefits of different fuel and vehicle pathways and illuminating viable transition strategies toward a sustainable transportation future.
