EUF Staff - Tom Wenzel
Tom Wenzel is a Scientist at LBNL working in transportation energy and environmental policy analysis. Tom has been analyzing in-use vehicle emission data since 1992. For three years, he compiled and analyzed in-use emissions data from state vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs for EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality. He has used these data to: compare different methods for exempting clean vehicles from I/M testing; evaluate state I/M programs; analyze seasonal variation in emissions; and compare average emissions by vehicle make and model. Tom has evaluated I/M programs for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, the California Inspection and Maintenance Review Committee, and the Colorado State Auditor. Tom has also developed an improved computer model to simulate vehicle emissions, with a team of researchers at UC Riverside. Tom also has analyzed energy use from motor vehicles. He has developed a statistical model of household vehicle miles traveled for the California Energy Commission, and has written a report reviewing several proposed pay-as-you-drive automobile insurance policies for the Department of Energy. He has analyzed the effect reducing vehicle weight in order to improve fuel economy has on occupant safety. He has a master's degree in Public Policy from the University of California at Berkeley.
