This community-based participatory research project, completed in partnership with the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance (NJEJA) and the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), evaluates the transportation-related pollution burden that environmental justice communities experience in and around port-adjacent communities in Newark, New Jersey. It highlights which transportation sources are the largest contributors to pollution exposure across the region generally and in specific hot spot areas. It then analyzes potential pathways, specifically focused on electrification, to reduce transportation-related emissions.
