Abstract:

The United States is a large consumer of oil. Passenger and freight transportation are responsible for the use of over 10 million barrels a day. Transportation is the major cause of United States dependence on oil. Surface transportation engenders more than 23% of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. There are numerous opportunities to remedy this in the next surface transportation reauthorization bill. This paper points out the surface transportation legislation reauthorization possibilities for reducing greenhouse gases in the United States, and decreasing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated through transportation in this country. Major elements addressed include vehicle miles traveled; fuels; vehicles; construction and maintenance; and system efficiency.
