Abstract

The transition to an electrified transportation system is underway, with implications for justice and equity, particularly among under-resourced and underrepresented communities. The potential exists for policymakers and planners to alleviate current and historic injustices or to further embed them within emerging transportation paradigms. To avoid this latter scenario, decision-makers must understand how the deployment and use of electrified transportation technologies impact equity and justice. To this end, I synthesize recent academic literature on the electrification of U.S. land transportation systems. I assess the state of knowledge surrounding the intersection of these principles with transportation electrification technologies and discuss emergent themes.
