Turning the fleet over takes time… (Wimmer 2008) (Marakby 2010)
Clean vehicles, low carbon fuels CA Target: 80% below 1990 • California’s 2020 goal requires ~ 25% reduction from Business-as-Usual. • California's 2050 goal is 80% reduction from 1990 levels. Three main policy levers Vehicle Efficiency VMT Low Carbon Fuels Remaining Emissions 2050 Scenario (On-Road Vehicles, California)
Innovative Measures Needed (Bunch et al. 2011) • Feebates • Revenue neutral: fees on high-emission vehicle purchases pay for rebates on low-emission vehicles • Could significantly increase hybrid share • Reduce VMT • Technological (vehicle and fuel) measures will be insufficient to meet 2050 goals • SB 375 forward thinking • MPOs and other planning agencies need mandate to establish more concrete measures: mode-shift, transit • Travel data standardization needed (Sager et al. 2011)
