What is the most climate-friendly way to get there from here? Sightline did the math on that question, ranking different transportation options by greenhouse gas emissions (note that rankings vary depending on vehicle type and occupancy). Turns out that the best strategy for reducing your impact: walk, bike, or fill up a seat that's already going your way!
Also, for anyone in a growing city without adequate mass transit, check out the American Bus Ass'n report comparing energy use and CO2 emissions from a wide variety of public transportation options: highway motor coach, private automobile, heavy urban rail, light rail, commuter rail, intercity rail, domestic air travel, urban transit bus, electric trolley bus, ferry boat, van pool, and demand response shared-use transit service.
