UCLA symposium helps California move toward low-carbon transportation and sustainable growth
As California moves forward to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and secure a more sustainable future, research plays a key role in informing which policies should be implemented. The March 8 symposium, “Measuring Progress towards Transportation Greenhouse Gas Goals,” recently convened a group of California’s top thinkers to discuss how the state can predict greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. Included in this group were leading faculty from the University of California System, influential policymakers and stakeholders, and some of the state’s leading technical expertise. The event was co-sponsored by the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation and the UC Institute of Transportation Studies Multi-campus Research Program and Initiative on Sustainable Transport. More information on the symposium, including background materials and audio of the proceedings, are available online.
