Abstract:

This study examines the zero-emission transportation sector in California and shows that underrepresented construction contractors, such as disabled veterans, women, Latinos, Asians, Islanders, and African Americans, face various challenges. It explores how these challenges could become opportunities for the contractors, creating a more inclusive environment. This study also provides an assessment to improve the equity and efficiency of their bonding experience. It aims to increase knowledge about the extent and nature of any disparities that might exist in the state, find out if there are any overlooked issues, and provide an assessment of the efficacy and efficiency of the process in place. A more efficient process can increase competition, benefiting every participant in the zero-emission transportation sector.
