Every year, Massachusetts residents drive
37 Billion Miles.
That’s enough to travel to Jupiter
100times.
On average, that is 5,625
miles per person, per year.
That’s roughly the distance of a round-trip
flight from
TO
BOSTON San Francisco
If you drove the whole way at 30 mph, you
would be in
the car for
7.85 days.
Total Households Cars per Household
Are we car-dependent?
The state has 3,855,735 registered automobiles.
That’s 1.5 per household.
Larger cities provide more alternatives to car ownership.
Why does it matter?
11% of
Massachusetts’
land area is filled
by roads and
other paved areas.
Residents
consume
10,769,077
gallons of
gasoline daily.
37,000,000,000.
This
results in daily
greenhouse
gas emissions
of 97,523,010
kilograms
of CO2
equivalent
per day --
14.8 kg per
person
What can we do about it?
Our solutions will depend on which aspect of the
problem we hope to resolve.
