Abstract:Florida’s remarkable transportation infrastructure is a key to its economic vitality, but transportation is also the single largest contributor to air pollution. Pollutants such as greenhouse gases (GHG) degrade air quality and contribute to climate change, while other pollutants have many environmental and health impacts. Urban areas, like Tampa or Miami, which are prone to traffic jams, generate high pollutant levels as vehicles inch along. By reducing vehicle use and highway density, public transportation can be a cost-effective and efficient means of reducing air pollutants. Therefore, how modes of transportation contribute to air pollution is an important topic of transportation planning.
