The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Sustainable Transportation and Communities Division has identified twelve priority projects for which it is seeking brief pre-proposals from California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) academics. These twelve projects will fill important data, information, and research gaps to support the division’s programs related to sustainable transportation, land use, housing, and buildings.

CARB is committed to increasing the equitable impact of our efforts agencywide, and as such, this solicitation contains several projects that will explore, address, and embody racial equity components. The goal of increasing the equity elements of projects, awareness of project opportunities, and diverse collaboration between academics of various backgrounds is to achieve equitable and healthy sustainable transportation and community strategies that meet California’s climate goals.
