Clean TransportationCalifornia’s transportation sector >95 percent dependent on a single fuel source: petroleum The state and the nation are extremely vulnerable to petroleum price and supply disruptionsTransportation sector is responsible for: approximately 40 percent of statewide GHG emissions, over half of statewide criteria air pollution, and significant degradation of public health and environmental quality

Clean TransportationState GoalsIncrease the use of alternative fuels: 20 percent of on-road transportation fuel use by 202030 percent by 2030significantly increase the efficiency of motor vehiclesreduce per capita vehicles miles traveled.
