TR News May-June 2010: Climate Change: Curbing Transportation's Contribution

Energy and climate change are the focus of articles assembled for the May–June 2010 issue of TR News under the auspices of the TRB Special Task Force on Climate Change and Energy.

Articles assess transportation’s current and anticipated contributions to emissions of greenhouse gases and fossil energy use, the challenges and opportunities to reduce emissions by freight carriers, the transition to low-carbon nonpetroleum fuels, operational issues for reducing carbon emissions, plus findings and recommendations from recent TRB policy studies, research needs statements, other publications, and more.

Articles in the issue include the following:
Transportation and Climate Change: Developing Technologies, Policies, and Strategies
The State of Climate Change Science and Options for Limiting Future Climate Change
Why Focus on Transportation for Emissions Reduction?
Legislative and Regulatory Moves to Reduce Transportation’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Curbing Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Transportation: Scenarios for Meeting the Global Challenge
A Transportation Research Program for Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change and Conserving Energy
TRB Special Task Force Produces Climate Change Primer and Research Needs Statements
Driving and the Built Environment: The Effects of Compact Development on Motorized Travel, Energy Use, and CO2 Emissions
Traffic Congestion and Greenhouse Gases
Policies to Promote Low-Carbon Transportation Fuels: What Works?
Plug-In Hybrid and Electric Vehicles: Recent Developments and Prospects
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Freight Trucking: Challenges and Opportunities
International Shipping and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: From Assessment to Mitigation
Recent Developments in Aviation Climate Policy
Research Pays Off: Creating Environmentally Sound Specifications for Culvert Rehabilitation: Virginia Applies Findings for Cured-in-Place Pipe Repair
