Motor vehicles are the largest contributors to air pollution in the United States. In 2018, public transit in Southeast Michigan helped to save 281,314 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, an equal amount to the annual emissions of over 224,000 personal cars. Public transit helps to avoid greenhouse gas emissions in two ways. Firstly, people who ride transit are avoiding personal vehicle trips. Secondly, for riders and non-riders, transit improvements generally create land use efficiencies, where destinations locate closer to the households that travel to them.
This month the RTA will be explaining regional transit goals. Stay up to date and follow us on social media to see more in-depth descriptions and discussions.
