PerCapita Emissions
Context: Community Energy and Emission Inventories Per Capita Spend• Approximately $3,600 annual per person energy spending
• $180 million for a community of 50,000 people
• $600 million for a community of 170,000
$383,681,430 $124,864,979

2Mode Shift
1Trip Distance Reduction
Fuel - Electrify what is left of the passenger fleet and / or biofuels, biofuels and natural gas for the heavy-duty fleet4
3
2Mode Shift - Shift remaining kilometers travelled to cycling, walking, public transit, ride-sharing and out of the single-occupant vehicle
Trip Distance Reduction - Reduce need for vehicle travel through urban form andtransportation demand management
1
Vehicle Efficiency - Reduce size of vehicles and improve engine efficiency, right-size vehicles to the need, minimize the tonnes ofsteel being moved to move a person
