Gas Emissions from Urban Transportation: Backgrounder
National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy
(NRTEE)
Greenhouse
Gas Emissions from Urban Transportation explores the debate
that exists regarding the problems and potential solutions
related to Canada's current and projected trends in urban
transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its relation
to Canada's Kyoto commitment. If Canada is to make significant
progress towards meeting the Kyoto commitment (reduction of
GHG emissions to 6% below 1990 levels in the 2008 to 2012
period) transportation emissions must become a priority.
The
report examines 11 types of initiatives that can be taken
to reduce CO2 emissions from urban transportation including
fuel taxes, corporate average fuel efficiency/consumption
(CAFE/CAFC) standards, fuel efficiency fees/rebates, and enhanced
transit and urban design.
