Accession Number: 01164045
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation will require actions that go beyond increasing vehicle fuel efficiency and that encompass initiatives in all of the major passenger and freight modes. This article, which introduces this issue of TR News, brings together leading experts to provide an overview of transportation's role in GHG buildup and in energy use. It concludes that meeting the challenge of climate change will provide opportunities for innovation and, while this issue of TR News can cover only a sample of the needs for research and innovation, the articles reflect the importance of a large, varied, and vibrant transportation research community going forward.
