Our research examines transportation and mobility through social and political science lenses, striving to develop efficient, equitable, and eco-friendly mobility solutions at local, national, and international levels. Mobility systems fundamentally influence socioeconomic opportunities while significantly impacting environmental and public health through factors like emissions, urban pollution, and land use. While mobility affects all individuals, its advantages and challenges are unevenly distributed. The organization and regulation of mobility systems at various scales determine how these social, health, economic, and environmental impacts are experienced across populations.
