Sustainability Perspectives Series: “Getting Where We Need to Be: The Imperative of Sustainable Transportation”
de Witt Lecture Room 106, Zabriskie Hall
The transportation sector accounts for the largest share (nearly 30%) of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains and planes. Transportation planners grapple with how to efficiently move people and goods while at the same time trying to reduce the climate changing impacts of transportation. Learn about regional efforts to encourage alternative modes of transportation to reduce our reliance on single-occupant vehicles, along with initiatives to move personal and commercial vehicles away from fossil fuels.
