City Efforts to Realize Low-Carbon, Equitable Transportation

Research from ACEEE’s 2020 City Clean Energy Scorecard shows that some cities have taken key steps over the past 18 months to reduce transportation-related emissions, with several municipalities releasing sustainable transportation plans and four cities (of 100) taking new steps to create compact, transit-oriented communities. However, our research also suggests that all cities can do much more, including adopting vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) reduction targets and tracking progress toward meeting them. In this webinar, ACEEE discusses research findings, and officials from Minneapolis and Washington, DC share strategies to reduce transportation-related emissions and inequities.
