Sustainable Transportation: Cycling, Walking, and Public Transportation

According to Berkeley's most recent greenhouse gas emission inventory, vehicle trips (including cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles) within Berkeley city limits account for 47% of Berkeley's total greenhouse gas emissions.  In fact, gasoline consumption in automobiles is the single largest source of emissions in Berkeley.  Learn how Berkeley is shifting the balance away from a dependence on driving and toward sustainable transportation modes.
