ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION

The Environmental Protection Agency estimated that transportation end-uses accounted for 28% of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and that passengers cars produced 31% of these transportation end-use related GHG emissions between years 1995 and 2005.  During this same time period, transportation related emissions were the fastest growing end-use category, accounting for over half of the growth in emissions.  The Sacramento Air Quality Management District estimates that 47% of ozone precursor emissions are from on-road  sources in the Sacramento Region.  For information about alternatives to driving alone, please use the links below.
