California’s Transition to Low-Carbon Road Transportation

By as early as 2030, California’s transition to zero emission vehicles could begin to save the state money, according to a study released today by researchers at the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis (ITS-Davis). Although the transition will need to be rapid, and near-term costs and other barriers must be overcome, the report finds that reaching very low greenhouse gas emissions from road vehicles (cars and trucks) by 2050 appears feasible and ultimately cost-effective.

Three transportation revolutions are in sight, and together, they could help reduce traffic, improve livability, save trillions of dollars and reduce urban transportation CO2 emissions by 80 percent or more worldwide by 2050. That’s according to a report released today from the University of California, Davis, and the New York-based nonprofit Institute for Transportation & Development Policy.

But to receive the most benefit from electric, driverless and shared transportation, the three revolutions must happen at the same time.
