Energy and
Environmental Policy Analysis
The Center for Transportation Analysis does specialty research and development in Energy and Environmental Policy Analysis.
Transportation systems in the U.S. and around the world face the challenge of providing for increased mobility of people and goods while reducing impacts on the environment and finding sustainable sources of energy. Governmental policies, from investment in research to information, efficiency or emissions standards and fiscal measures, play a critical role in the effort to create a sustainable transportation system. The Transportation Energy and Environmental Policy program conducts research and policy analysis to support the development of efficient, effective and equitable policies to achieve a sustainable transportation system.
