Driving Down Emissions

Driving Down Emissions is a report that explores the relationship between land use and transportation decisions. It outlines five strategies that can reduce the emissions:

• Removing onerous government regulations to provide more homes where people naturally drive less.
• Prioritizing safety when designing to encourage short trips, enabling walking and biking.
• Instituting GHG reduction and less driving.
• Prioritizing access to destinations. 
• Investing in other methods of transport.

Transportation accounts for the largest share of carbon emissions in the US. This report shows that reducing emissions from transportation in a short timeframe is an achievable goal.
