Dissertation
The Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 on Commute, Employment, Housing, and Environment in the Post-Pandemic Era
2024
Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly transformed work and commuting patterns, reshaping urban dynamics in the United States. This dissertation investigates these shifts through three interrelated studies, focusing on the impacts of remote work on commuting behavior, residential choices, and environmental sustainability. The first study analyzes the effects of policy interventions and the widespread adoption of remote work on commute traffic in Northern California, emphasizing the inequitable outcomes for lower-income workers and essential sectors. The second study examines how remote work has influenced job and housing locations in the Bay Area and Central Valley, noting significant traffic volume reductions and migration toward more remote residential areas. The third study explores the environmental consequences of remote work, showing that fully remote workers reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by eliminating commutes, while hybrid workers also contribute to emissions reductions by commuting less frequently. Together, these studies offer insights into the evolving nature of commuting and residential dynamics, providing guidance for equitable and sustainable urban planning in the post-pandemic era.
