Event Overview
Measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as stay-at-home orders, have significantly impacted travel across California. The impacts of COVID-19 on travel coupled with shifts in purchasing behavior (e.g., e-commerce) and work policies (e.g., telecommuting) have implications for the environment, public health, safety, air quality, and other considerations. This webinar will share new research from the UC Institute of Transportation on quantifying the influence COVID-19 has had on travel and what this means in terms of meeting the state’s climate goals, improving air quality, public health, and much more.
