  2. Maroon electric car with car plugged in

    Bringing new resilient infrastructure to all communities

    Oct 11, 2023

    Originally published on the website of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Enginnering at The Ohio State University and written by Kevin Satterfield.

    In an effort to mitigate climate change, many communities and the transportation and energy systems that serve them, are transitioning to renewable sources. However, not all communities are able to equally participate in this transition.

    Underserved communities, in particular, often encounter barriers when shifting to newer, electrified energy and transportation systems. Many of these neighborhoods already experience various, socioeconomic challenges and exposure to existing pollutants and potential, adverse health outcomes.

    Researchers at The Ohio State University, including School of Environment and Natural Resources faculty member Jeffrey Jacquet are part of the interdisciplinary team working to alleviate some of these inequities and improve the quality of life for residents in these communities. Learn more >>
