This grant support the University of California, Davis to facilitate collaboration between California and India to promote zero-emission vehicles.

The Institute of Transportation at University of California at Davis conducts and disseminates research addressing the challenges of transportation and land use. The Institute would continue to support the implementation of California’s SB 375—the leading example of performance-based transportation planning in the U.S.—by providing two important elements to Metropolitan Planning Organizations and supporting nongovernmental organizations: (1) modeling results for options to reach the emissions targets set for each region for 2020 and 2035 and (2) analysis of, and solutions to, the institutional and financial barriers to implementation. The lessons learned from implementation of SB 375 will be valuable throughout the U.S.
