WASHINGTON — The Biden Administration on Tuesday released a "blueprint" for reaching net-zero transportation emissions nationwide by 2050.
The report is to be considered a "toolkit" for eliminating greenhouse gas production from the country's transportation, from cars and trucks to planes, trains and shipping, administration officials said.
The plan suggests making it more convenient for communities to get around to grocery stores, workplaces, schools and entertainment venues to reduce the necessity of carbon-heavy transportation; increasing the energy efficiency of existing transportation options; and transitioning away from transportation powered by fossil fuels.
