An introduction to carbon reduction

Carbon Reduction Program: Encouraging fewer cars (and carbon emissions)

Did you know that as of 2021, 28% of greenhouse gas emissions in the US come from transportation?

Yeah, we know… kind of a bummer, and maybe not the news you want to start your morning with. So let’s get to the good stuff: The Carbon Reduction Program, an effort to reduce transportation emissions through local and statewide projects that are federally funded.

What is the Carbon Reduction Program?

In an effort to reduce transportation emissions across the US, the Carbon Reduction Program was created in 2021 to distribute $6.4 billion in formula funding over a five-year period.

What’s driving the news?

By Wednesday, Nov. 15, states and designated metropolitan planning organizations were tasked with unveiling their strategies to reduce emissions through the program.

They’ll also need to disclose which projects will be funded by the program — whether that be installing protected bike lanes, creating a new bus transit system, or a different project that helps reduce carbon emissions. The City of Trees is already doing its part — reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 15% between 2005 and 2020.
