The Big Picture: Decarbonization

Reducing carbon emissions is referred to as “decarbonizing.”

 There are three methods of decarbonizing transportation:

 

Decreasing Vehicle Use

Investing in better public transportation, redesigning communities to reduce the need for travel, or creating incentives to travel less.

Improving Vehicle Efficiency

Deploying new vehicle technologies like lightweight materials, more efficient engines, or electric vehicles.
