...
Reduce Pollution The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has prepared this fact sheet to an- swer some of the most common questions about reducing emissions from private vehicles. This is an important concern, as cars are a major source of air pollution in the United States. Vehicle emissions contribute to health and environmental problems such as urban smog, air toxics, and global warming. Yet individual driving habits make a big difference in the amount of pollution a car produces. Three easy things you can do to help keep emissions as low as possible are: • Avoid unnecessary driving • Maintain your car properly • Drive your car wisely By combining these strategies, you can very effectively reduce the amount your car pollutes. And there are additional benefits — your car will last longer and you will save money. Avoid Unnecessary Dr

1 Greenhouse gas emissions from transport Executive summary Main findings of transport report • Between 1990 and 20021, total UK greenhouse gas emissions
...
declined 10 per cent from 777.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent to 696.5 million tonnes. The transport industries were one of the few exceptions to this downward trend as greenhouse gas emissions from the transport industries were 47 per cent higher in 2002 than in 1990. This is despite a 3 per cent fall in emissions since 2000, reflecting a downturn in the air transport industry following the reaction to terrorist attacks on September 11. The level of greenhouse gas emissions from non-transport industries in 2002 was 15 per cent lower than in 1990, reflecting fewer emissions from the manufacturing industries. • The UK transport industries were responsible for emitting the equivalent of 86.0 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2002 compared with 88.3 million tonnes in 2000 and 58.5 million tonnes in 1990.

Strategies Can Achieve Emission Reduction Targets And Provide Other Important Economic, Social and Environmental Benefits 10 July 2008 Todd Litman Victoria Transport Policy Institute The Earth’s surface is covered by a thin atmosphere. Photo: NASA Abstract Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective, technically feasible market reforms that solve transportation problems by improving mobility options and removing market distortions that cause excessive motor vehicle travel. They provide many economic, social and environmental benefits. If implemented to the degree economically justified, Win-Win Solutions could achieve the transport component of Kyoto emission reduction targets while helping to address problems such as traffic congestion, accidents and inadequate mobility for non-drivers, and supporting economic developm
