ALT Figure 8 from the report: This figure displays the dashboard for California Evaluation Hazards. The dashboard includes the selection of a city, hazard, property. Ross is selected as the city, and a color-coded bar graph with the hazards.
Check out this feature in @NASEMTRB's TR News delving into the meaningful projects that @USDOT UTCs are engaged in, including @NCST_Research's research into a carshare program providing sustainable mobility to rural communities in the Central Valley.

New report from @ITS_UCDavis! #California and the US are working toward net-zero greenhouse gas #emissions for cement and concrete industries. Researchers investigated the role of carbon dioxide removal as a mechanism to achieve these goals. Read here: ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-pr…
ALT Figure 1 from the report. This figure shows a diagram for concrete end-of life: it "begins" with Use Phase and travels to processes "Crushed Concrete After Demolition," "Landfilling," "Carbonation of Crushed Concrete," "Recycled as Aggregate," which then goes back to Use Phase.
What's the toughest #bike trip you've had to take? Cycling-specific impedance functions can measure that difficulty, which can be useful for planners to prioritize bike #infrastructure. If you're interested, don't forget to register for our 11/21 webinar! ncst.ucdavis.edu/events/webi…
Our new Student Spotlight features Meg Fay, a @uvmvermont Civil & Environmental Engineering master's student! They discuss the #emissions and #equity impacts of the electric vehicle transition, their role as a researcher, and advice for undergrad students: ncst.ucdavis.edu/news/uvms-m…
In case you missed it! Researchers examined @RideSacRT's SmaRT Ride #microtransit program and the drivers of microtransit adoption. Their results suggest #policy solutions that support microtransit and benefit transport-disadvantaged groups. Read more: ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-pr…

In a new addition to our mini lecture series, @alanjenn of UC Davis explains how the #grid will handle increased electric vehicle load, what that means for vehicle owners and ratepayers, and how clean #EVs actually are. Find the full series here! ncst.ucdavis.edu/video-lectu…

Charging electric vehicles can be costly to fleet managers and stressful to the grid. @gatechengineers researchers developed a smart charging algorithm that can reduce electricity bills, defer infrastructure upgrades, and increase #EV adoption. Read here: ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-pr…
ALT Figure 2 from the linked report. This image shows a schematic of the distribution feeder model from “A Time-Series Distribution Test System Based on Real Utility Data" by Bu et al. Squares indicate distribution transformers and loads; each load is connected to a dedicated transformer. Locations selected for fleet placement are circled.
