Sustainable transportation refers to transportation that contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These modes of transportation are affordable and either low-emission, energy-efficient, or electric. Some examples of sustainable transportation projects include: first/last mile projects for connectivity; safe routes to schools and parks; protected bike lanes; complete sidewalks with streetscape; accessible and welcoming transit hubs; more visible signs and signals; traffic calming measures; designated carpool loading areas; and bike share programs/stations.
