Reducing Emissions
by Improving Operations
•Improve flow of vehicles
(cars, trucks, buses, trains) to minimize emissions
–Minimize accelerations
(specially hard accelerations)
–Maximize optimal speeds
(varies by emission)
•Meet travel demand
through lower emission modes
–Enhance transit, bike
and pedestrian attractiveness to increase mode share
–Enhance economic
competitiveness of rail over truck travel
•Make full use of engine
diagnostics and information to minimize vehicle emission rates under
full range of operating conditions
•Reduce the amount of
travel by fossil fueled vehicles
