Environmental impacts of connected and automated vehicles

Caltrans, February 2, 2018

Caltrans and its partners are seeking information about the impact of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and VMT, and the range of associated benefits or challenges. Of particular interest is the impact of CAVs on travel behavior and how these changes in behavior may affect traffic and function of the roadway, transit use, mode shift, human health, the environment, transportation equity, land use and livability.
