Ph.D., 1990, University of California, Davis

Dr. Mark A. Delucchi is a research scientist at the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis and a private consultant, specializing in economic, environmental, engineering, and planning analyses of current and future transportation systems. He is a member of the Alternative Fuels Committee and the Energy Committee of the Transportation Research Board.

Dr. Delucchi's research is in several areas: comprehensive analyses of the full social-costs of transportation; lifecycle analyses of emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants from transportation systems; modeling the lifetime cost and energy use of advanced electric and conventional vehicles; planning suburbs and transportation infrastructure to minimize the negative impacts of transportation; and comprehensive assessments of alternative transportation fuels.

This research is documented in a series of research reports and articles, many of which are available for download from this web page (see below). The research is organized into five categories:

Social Cost of Transportation


The following series is a 21-volume, 2000-plus-page analysis of all of the social costs of motor-vehicle use in the U.S. Although most of the analysis was done for 1991, some parts have been updated. If a report was published as a journal article, the reference to the article is given immediately below the report.
