Our national transportation system is the backbone of America’s economy and critical to supporting the daily needs of all system users. The transportation sector is also the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Emissions from the sector contribute to climate change, endangering lives across every income bracket in urban, suburban, and rural communities nationwide. Our past transportation and land use decisions promote a reliance on driving, long distances between destinations, and fewer mobility options. A reimagined transportation system that maximizes mobility choices and convenience can create benefits for individuals, the economy, and the climate.
