Beyond Gasoline: Drive Less

US Cars and Drivers US Population: 300 million Licensed drivers 190 million Cars and light trucks. 210 million

US Cars and Drivers We spend $20 out of every $100 of household $$ on our cars. Very little travel (2%) is by mass transit (buses and trains)

Problems Air pollution Global Warming Oil Imports Gasoline Prices Future Oil Supplies

Global Warming 20 lb CO2 emitted for every gallon of gasoline consumed. Transportation accounts for 25% of Global greenhouse gas emissions

Vehicle Life Cycle Energy Cost: It’s more than gasoline. Produce fuel: 15% Run Vehicle: 75% Produce and dispose of Vehicle: 10%

What can we do?

Drive Less - Walk

Drive Less - Bicycle

Drive Less – Mass Transit

Drive Less - Subway

Drive Less - Carpool

Drive Less – Urban Planning

Drive Less – Summary Many people like flexibility and safety of cars Many people like suburbs. Mass transit systems requires large $$ investments. Will take many years to transform suburbs into “new towns” Part of the solution, but not the whole solution.
