Dear Climate Smart Community Leader,
As communities work to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, it’s important to remember that transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse can emissions and is the second largest expense for US households. It is estimated that by 2045, the US population will increase by 70 million and vehicle miles travelled (VMTs) will increase by 23-27%.
This webinar will examine ways communities can reduce their emissions from transportation through implementing transportation demand management (TDM) programs, traffic signal optimization, complete streets policies, providing electric vehicle charging stations and supporting and encouraging bike/pedestrian projects and car sharing programs. Alternative transportation options and operational practices that reduce VMTs will also be discussed. (See attached agenda)
