Four Policies That Can Reduce U.S. Transport emission 45%, Cut Oil Use 25%, Save 5,300 Lives per Year
Fuel Economy standards— The fuel economy standards are the policies endorsed by the U.S. parliament to intensify the usual fuel economy of cars, light-duty and heavy-duty trucks. The fuel economy standards policy assists to further lessen the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and also increase the fuel economy for models years through 2025-2050 LDVs and HDVs vehicles. It embraces uniform federal standards to control both the fuel economy and the greenhouse gas emission. The policy demonstrate that the higher fuel economy standards helps in decreasing the oil intake by vehicles by approximately 1.8 billion barrels and also lessens the greenhouse gas emission by 900 million tons. This policy has helped in saving consumer’s money over the long term in improved fuel proficiency, conserved consumer choice, reduce air pollution in form of greenhouse gas emission and other predictable pollutant.
Transportation Demand Policies for passengers and freight— Transportation Demand refers to the quantity and type of travel people would select under a precise situations taking account feature such as the quality of transport choice accessible. The policy indicates the number of pkm covered every year in the U.S. Transportation is one basic cause of greenhouse gas emission which give upsurge to important air pollution and noise, that can extremely harm human health and ecosystem. The Transportation Demand policy is vital for the environmental influence of passengers and goods transport due to the variances in the environmental performance of transport types. For instance, rather than saying that “Vehicle travel is expected to increase by 20% during the next decade” it would be more correct to say that “Vehicle travel is expected to increase by 20% during the next decade if current developments continue, or 10% if the community invests more in alternative modes, or not at all if the community also implements smart development land use policies, and is expected to weakening by 10% if supplementary TDM policies are executed, such as proficient road and parking pricing.”
A Feebate Policy—The Feebate policy is the fee imposed on the sale of unproductive passenger LDVs which is being used to refund a discount to the buyer’s efficient passenger LDVs. Feebate policy is one of the best available policy choices to reduce passenger car emissions. This policy create fees and refunds based on vehicles greenhouse gas emissions or other air pollutant or fuel economy standards. Feebate policy levy a fee on vehicles with high CO2 emissions or fuel intake (i.e., low fuel economy) and offer a rebate to vehicles with low CO2 emissions or fuel intake (i.e., high fuel economy).
A low carbon fuel standard (LCFS)— A low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) is the policy endorsed to lessen the carbon intensity in transportation fuels as related to conventional petroleum fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. The most common low-carbon fuels are substitute fuels and domestic fossil fuels, such as natural gas (CNG and LPG). Low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) proposals are programs that take target solely at the American fuel supply. An LCFS is planned to lower the quantity of carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation segment by striking high directives on American fuel manufacturers to pay for products and technologies they do not make and that may not even be available. The only way to decrease carbon from gasoline or diesel is to substitute it with something else or combine more of a non-petroleum or open “lower carbon” fuel into the fuel supply. This emboldens a move from petroleum fuels to biofuels or electricity. A study by a research organization found that a national LCFS on transportation fuels would increase the average U.S. gasoline and diesel prices by as much as 80 percent within five years and up to 170 percent within 10 years. The enactment of a nationwide LCFS in the United States would decrease the global greenhouse gas emissions linked with the changes in crude oil transport by up to 19 million metric tons each year.
