Mobility 10X: Accelerating Transportation Innovation in California

The magazine features 10 stories that highlight the breadth and impact of the Resilient and Innovative Mobility Initiative's (RIMI's) work across the University of California Institute of Transportation Studies (UC ITS) campuses— Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, and UCLA. It also draws on related research funded through the UC ITS SB1 program, established by California’s Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, along with additional studies by UC ITS scholars and the broader research literature. Together, these efforts demonstrate how targeted research can achieve a 10x impact— shaping policy, influencing practice, and scaling solutions to California’s complex transportation challenges, from decarbonization to bolstering public transit and road safety. For policymakers, planners, and agency leaders, this magazine provides a roadmap for translating research into long-lasting, system-level improvements.
