Asheville’s Going Green Transportation Strategy

New York Public Transit Association

Lawrence J. Murphy, P.E. Rebecca Jablon, AICP CDM, Inc. The City of Asheville, North Carolina took on a challenging goal to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from City operations and services by 2% per year from 2007 levels until an 80% reduction is achieved. To achieve its goal, the City developed an Asheville Sustainability Management Plan (SMP). In 2008, the City’s fleet and employee commute were responsible for nearly a third of the City’s greenhouse gases. One key component to improving the sustainability in the City’s transportation sector is to go green. Asheville’s green transportation strategy is a comprehensive plan that focuses on reducing vehicle miles traveled and fuel consumption as well as encouraging an increase in public transportation use. The sustainable vision of Asheville and its goal to reduce greenhouse gases will conserve energy and improve the environment. Techniques employed and planned are transferrable to any municipality.

Hibrid cars

Sister T.A.

Two students, Sean and Nico, created a project about hybrid cars as a possible solution to reducing pollution from gas-consuming vehicles. They note that hybrid cars get better gas mileage than SUVs, help reduce emissions, but have drawbacks like being less powerful than gas cars and having expensive batteries to repair. However, the students believe that hybrid cars will help preserve the environment despite their current downsides.

Electric Car Conspiracy

Cstarz111

Have a good look at this scary glimpse at the power of the oil companies to control the development and production of vehicles using non-oil fuels such as electricity, hydrogen, water, etc. It's unbelievable what has happened and continues to occur when increasing costs of oil and the harm from pollution is affecting more and more of the world's population. These are the stories that the oil companies are determined to suppress. They are the very stories that people power needs! Please take the time to view/read the attachment and then pass it on to your friends and contacts.
