An Update on Public Transportation's Impacts on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

This report updates aspects of previous TCRP research on public transportation’s role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and supporting sustainability. This report provides useful information that is presented in clear, easy-to-understand language amply supported by exhibits and graphics. The report will be of immediate use to local, regional, state, and national organizations concerned with public transportation, air quality, energy, sustainability, and climate change mitigation. Communities planning low-carbon transportation solutions will find estimates of the GHG emissions of their local transit systems, as well as information on the GHG impacts of fuels, technologies, and ridership changes. The supporting deliverables give transit agencies planning and communication tools, including ready-to-use graphics and data showing the reduced carbon footprint of an individual taking transit and transit agency contributions to GHG reduction and sustainability
