Completing Rural Highways: Challenges and strategies for state agencies
We Can Advance Electric Vehicles and Smart Growth at the Same Time
Transportation is the largest energy-related source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and emissions reduction models consistently show that electrification is essential to getting us to zero transportation emissions. These models also show that EVs don’t get us there fast enough.
In this resource series, we share strategies in the
zero-emission fleet transition which work in concert with smart growth. Together, these efforts will not only reduce emissions fast enough to achieve our climate goals—they’ll also lead to healthier, thriving communities.
