The Transportation and Climate Initiative: Multi-State Collaboration to Advance Equitable Low-Carbon Transportation
James Bradbury, PhD
Mitigation Program Director, Georgetown Climate Center, Georgetown University Law Center
Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for about 28 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. As we work together to address the profound climate crisis, the U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s new speaker series, Innovation for a Sustainable, Equitable Transportation System, is exploring how to transition to a low-/no-carbon transportation system—one that enables disadvantaged communities to gain access to mobility, jobs, and economic opportunity.
James Bradbury, PhD, mitigation program director of Georgetown Climate Center at Georgetown University Law Center, presented "The Transportation and Climate Initiative: Multi-State Collaboration to Advance Equitable Low-Carbon Transportation" as part of the U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s 2021 thought leadership series, Innovation for a Sustainable, Equitable Transportation System, on August 3, 2021.
