Transit Environmental Benefits

America’s public transportation systems can play a vital role in creating a healthier nation. Providing significant environmental benefits – by reducing smog-producing pollutants and greenhouse gases – public transportation is helping to meet national air quality standards. Public transportation produces about half as much carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx), per passenger mile, as private vehicles.

A recent report by ICF International, "Public Transportation and Petroleum Savings in the U.S.: Reducing Dependence on Oil," highlighted that U.S. public transportation saves 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline every year. According to this report, 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline is the equivalent of 300,000 cars filling up every day.
