Sustainable Transportation

Transportation emissions are generated in the combustion of fossil fuels to power vehicles. In Kingston, nearly all vehicles use gasoline or diesel fuel. To reduce GHG emissions through transportation in the ICI sector, active and sustainable travel options must be prioritized, enhanced and supported. Strategies that improve acceptability and convenience of active and sustainable travel such as walking, cycling, public transit, carpooling, telecommuting/teleconferencing and car sharing can result in significant GHG emission reductions as well as have other environmental, social, health and economic benefits.
