Growing consciousness about global warming is prompting increased action at the local and state levels. Transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge, including automotive and fuels technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility and land use management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility and land use management strategies. In the future, ITS, mobility management, and smart growth will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption.
