This thesis explores California's journey towards deep decarbonization in the transportation sector, focusing on the pivotal roles of aviation, electric vehicles, and high-speed rail. Using the ASIF framework, it analyzes the Activities, Share, Intensity, and Fuel of each mode, aiming to illustrate the intricate ways that different transportation options contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. By examining the challenges and opportunities presented by these transportation modes, the thesis underscores the need for comprehensive strategies that transcend incremental technological improvements. Bearing California's ambitious climate goals in consideration, this report explores the complex interplay between transportation, urban development, and land-use patterns, highlighting the importance of systemic changes for achieving sustainable mobility. Through a comparative analysis and case study, the thesis offers valuable insights into the impact of different transportation systems on California’s transition towards a carbon-neutral future.
