| 摘要： | The report will be of interest to transportation agencies, environmental orgnizations, and communities concerned about greenhouse gas emissions. The report and the TravelMatters website (developed as part of this project) are designed to present information on climate change and to examine how greenhouse gas emissions from transportation may be reduced. Both the print and web-based research products review the capacity of public transportation to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and present this information in a format accessible to transportation professionals and the general public. The TravelMatters website includes two on-line calculators that track greenhouse gas emissions for individuals or transit fleets and a series of geographic information systems maps illustrating the correlation between land use, auto use, and carbon dioxide emissions. Both the print and website products present information on land-use factors that generate demand for travel; ways transit agencies can modify current operating systems to maximize potential ridership; and the potential emissions benefits of alternative, low-emissions technologies available to transit agencies. |
