Abstract:Transit, shared mobility, and vehicle electrification serve as major enablers of transportation decarbonization. Several shared mobility has been offered in the US and abroad, with a major focus on implementation on university campuses and at airports. However, combined offerings of shared and electric vehicles providing on-demand service rather than route-based service are still forthcoming. In this project, we conducted a comparative study of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction potential and potential equity impacts of the deployment of shared electric vehicles servicing student, faculty, and staff commute travel to and from three university campuses –Cal Poly, Georgia Tech, and UT Arlington. This research project 1) identified the potential users and use cases of shared electric vehicles serving university commute travel; 2) estimated the potential for GHG reduction and other benefits for different technology deployment and policy scenarios; 3) assessed the distributional differences of the estimated benefits across stakeholder groups; and 4) recommended measures to remove barriers to adoption of shared electric vehicles and increase equitable shared electric fleet programs. In this project, the three teams surveyed potential users of shared and electric fleets. To this end, all three campuses utilized the large-scale transportation survey data to obtain sociodemographic and travel behavior characteristics of the students, staff, and faculty.
