Statewide Emissions & Public Transit Initiative

2024-2025 State Policy Team Project

Policy Director: Hyejun Yun

Policy Analysts: TBD

This project explores how state-level investments in public transit infrastructure can reduce transportation-related emissions, especially Scope 3 emissions that are often overlooked in reporting. Our research includes emissions modeling, policy benchmarking, and an equity analysis of underserved communities' access to clean transit. The legislative output could include a proposal for a statewide fleet electrification mandate, incentives for municipalities to expand low-emission transit, and improvements to emissions tracking and public reporting.
