We need your help! This year at BECC, we want to gather thought leaders from across our industries to brainstorm potential solutions to a real-world climate issue: discouraging single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel in the suburban North Vineyard region of Sacramento.
The North Vineyard region of Sacramento is a car-dependent suburban area with a substantial low-income population. To reduce congestion, improve air quality, and help mitigate climate change, the Sacramento Department of Transportation (SacDOT) is trying to reduce the number of SOV trips residents take in this region. What can they do without significant changes to their transportation infrastructure?
During this Solutions Session, participants and panelists will work together to help the SacDOT brainstorm behavior change interventions that can affect real impact. The goal will be to develop ideas for methods to encourage SOV drivers to choose alternative modes for some trips. The session will be led by Dr. Reuven Sussman (American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy), alongside expert panelists with behavioral science and applied experience in the field. The problem will be presented by Mikki McDaniel and Makinzie Clark at SacDOT, and participants will have a chance to ask questions and work together to brainstorm behaviorally-informed solutions. The session is presented by the Arthur Vining-Davis Foundations. Join us and help turn research into action
