Summary: Private labels (PL) have gained popularity globally, with consumers increasingly shifting from traditional grocery shopping to online shopping. When shopping for groceries online, consumers rely less on external product cues (price, brand name, and packaging) and perceive a smaller quality gap between PL and national brand (NB) products, leading to higher PL sales. These findings have implications for academics, retailers, manufacturers, and consumers.

Summary: This research uses data from the UK National Travel Survey to explore the relationship between online and in-store shopping. The study finds that buying groceries online with home delivery can significantly reduce household CO2 emissions and does not lead to a rebound effect in other trip motives.

Summary: This study provides insight into the perceived barriers and facilitators of online grocery shopping among SNAP-authorized retailers. The primary themes among managers offering online ordering include order fulfillment challenges, perceived customer barriers, and perceived customer benefits. Among managers at brick-and-mortar locations without online services, the major themes include thoughts on implementing online shopping, COVID-19 pandemic impacts, competition with other stores, and benefits of maintaining brick-and-mortar shopping.

Summary: This study examines the changes in online and in-store grocery shopping in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. It found that there was an increase in online grocery purchases among consumerist individuals, while financially conservative individuals and those facing financial struggles showed a decrease. People bought more items per purchase in stores, visited stores less frequently, and transitioned from dining out to cooking at home. Those who enjoy driving and being physically active continued visiting stores more often. Social media use and health concerns influenced shopping patterns, and sociodemographic factors such as household income and race also impacted these changes.

Summary: It is valuable to investigate the built environment effects on online shopping and whether land use policy is effective in managing online shopping and travel demand. This study explores the influence of the built environment on the frequency of e-shopping for different product categories, considering the mediating role of e-shopping attitudes. Data from face-to-face interviews with online buyers in Chengdu, China, were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that higher residential density has a positive impact on online shopping frequency, while accessibility to metro and bus stations has indirect and negative/positive impacts on e-shopping frequency through e-shopping attitudes.

Summary: This paper examines whether Black and Latino trip makers who live in segregated metropolitan areas are required to make longer duration or longer distance trips than their White and non-Latino neighbors based on data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey. The findings suggest that residential segregation contributes to travel disparities between different racial groups in noticeable but not always expected ways.

Summary: Research shows that introducing digital front-of-package labels (FoPL) in online supermarkets can effectively support consumers in choosing products with higher nutritional quality. Digital FoPL provides scalable and personalized interventions, making them well-suited for the current trend of online shopping. Users with low food literacy benefit the most from digital FoPL. Furthermore, participants show strong support for the introduction of digital food labels.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between environmental consciousness and multidimensional customer brand engagement (CBE) in online grocery shopping and investigates the moderating effect of customer characteristics on this relationship. A total of 358 Korean respondents participated in an online survey to assess the impacts of multidimensional CBE in online grocery. The results indicate that environmental consciousness positively influences cognition and activation aspects of CBE, and CBE positively affects behavioral intention. Multi-group analysis is conducted to examine the differences between low and high customer characteristic groups. The study contributes to the literature on online grocery shopping and provides insights for marketers and practitioners in developing marketing strategies.

Summary: This study examines the changes in grocery shopping behavior during COVID-19 and their implications for transportation and environmental justice. Most Californians reduced their in-store shopping frequency during the pandemic and relied more on e-grocery and click-and-pick services. African American households shopped in-store less than Whites before the pandemic and may increase their use of e-grocery and click-and-pick services after the pandemic.

Summary: This study examines the impact of housing costs on commuting and finds that households in more expensive neighborhoods have shorter commutes. Job density, distance to CBD, and land-use diversity have a greater impact on commuting than residential characteristics. Ethnic minorities and lower income workers have longer commutes, while college educated workers have shorter commutes. Women's commutes are shorter, possibly due to balancing work and domestic responsibilities.

Summary: Electrification and connectivity in trucking can reduce costs, environmental impact, and improve road safety. By replacing conventional trucks with electric/hydrogen trucks and improving selected ramps, the forecasted increase in drayage demand for 2035 can be accommodated without adding new lanes to existing roads. The importance of considering the impact of new vehicle technologies on speed in infrastructure planning is highlighted.

Summary: Diesel heavy-duty drayage trucks serving the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are major contributors to air pollution in Southern California. Despite the high cost, it is necessary to replace them with zero-emission trucks to reduce premature deaths and asthma attacks. This study found that in 2012, these trucks contributed to 483 premature deaths and 15,468 asthma attacks. However, with regulations and technological advances, the impacts could be reduced to 106 premature deaths and 2,142 asthma attacks by 2035.

Summary: Health concerns and government restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a surge in telecommuting. A study conducted in California found that 4.2% of workers expect to continue telecommuting post-pandemic, with those in management, business/finance/administration, and engineering/architecture/law/social sciences fields more likely to benefit. Higher education and smaller household size were also associated with increased telecommuting.

Summary: This study compares individuals/households who use only public transportation, only transportation network companies (TNCs), or both. The results show that individuals/households who use either public transportation or TNCs or both have similar socio-economic characteristics and reside in similar areas. In addition, individuals/households who use both public transportation and TNCs are typically composed of Millennials and Generation Z, with higher income, more education, no children, and fewer vehicles.
