Research Agenda
| Studying the relationship between transportation and air quality is CERT's most prevalent research theme. Transportation accounts for more than half of air pollutants in urban areas, and it accounts for nearly one-third of all energy consumption in America. Although decades of research and development have cleaned up emissions from the transportation sector to a huge degree, significant questions about energy choices, emissions, and environmental effects require more research. |

To contribute to answers in these fields, CERT has established programs in advanced vehicle and energy technologies, fuels, emissions measurement, control technologies, and atmospheric processes. Spinoffs from these core fields include research into stationary and point sources of pollution, water quality, land use, and planning. |
