Purpose

Transportation is responsible for 25% of Canada’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with passenger cars and light trucks responsible for nearly half of that total, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (C02). Traffic congestion is part of the problem. A 2009 University of California study showed that reducing congestion – keeping traffic flowing at moderate speeds and smoothing traffic so that there are fewer accelerations and decelerations – can reduce C02 emissions from vehicle traffic by approximately 30%.
