Engineering Environmental Justice Lab

Reimagining the transportation system to advance environmental justice

Advancing research on (de)infrastructuring to reduce air pollution exposure and enhance community resilience.

Our Focus

The Engineering Environmental Justice Lab at the University of California, Los Angeles Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (UCLA CEE) focuses on the air quality and equity implications of transportation and infrastructure policies.

Our community-engaged, research-to-action projects aim to support health-promoting communities that prioritize transportation equity, reduce automobile dependency, and are climate resilient. EEJL is led by Dr. Regan F. Patterson, an Assistant Professor at UCLA CEE.
