Nationally, the transportation sector is responsible for about one-third of the greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted nationwide

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $963,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) to Portland State University (PSU). The purpose of the grant is to establish the Transportation Decarbonization Resource Hub, which will:

1. Conduct a literature review of transportation safety modes, including micro-mobility;
2. Document safety regulations at federal, state, and local levels;
3. Assess emerging data approaches using police, hospital, and industry data;
4. Interview stakeholders across public and private sectors; and
5. Make recommendations on infrastructure, policy, and technology to support transportation decarbonization.

The project will benefit the broader U.S. transportation decarbonization community, particularly those addressing micro-mobility issues. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.

Activities

PSU will establish the transportation decarbonization resource hub to:1) a literature review of transportation safety modes, including micro-mobility modes,2) document safety regulations at federal, state, and local levels,3) assess emerging data approaches ? Including police, hospital, and industry data,4) interview stakeholders across public and private sectors, AND5) make recommendations on infrastructure, policy, and technology.

Intended beneficiaries

Beneficiaries other than PSU are the larger U.S. Transportation decar-bonization community, particularly those addressing micro-mobility issues.
