Abstract
ABSTRACTResearch on local and state climate change policy has grown extensively in the last 15−20 years. However, regional climate change, particularly as it relates to transportation policymaking and administration, remains an understudied area of climate change research around the world. Transportation work crosses multiple levels of government, making it challenging to evaluate and leaving room for additional studies. California, as an environmental leader and a major source of transportation emissions, provides an excellent backdrop for understanding the intersection of climate change and transportation policy. Using qualitative data about transportation groups in California cities and regions, this study will help us understand how transportation policy subsystems have evolved to consider sustainability and climate change goals along with the transportation needs of residents. This project investigates sources of conflict and agreement among transportation interest groups to better understand how coalitions operate within this important subsystem. Transportation and climate change planning connects research on justice, governance, infrastructure support, and environmental equity while providing needed knowledge about one of the largest climate champions in the world: the state of California.
