Transportation’s Role in Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The U.S. Department of Transportation has released a report that examines greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels and trends from the transportation sector and analyzes the full range of strategies available to reduce these emissions.

The report is presented in two parts: Volumes 1 and 2. Volume 1: Synthesis Report explores findings and highlights policy options that Congress may wish to consider to reduce transportation GHG emissions. Volume 2: Technical Report provides the technical details of the assessment.
