Transportation System Efficiency
Efficient transportation systems achieve transportation goals (such as enabling workers to work or goods to be delivered) while reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
Reducing the number of miles vehicles traveled decreases petroleum use in transportation and reduces vehicle emissions. Also known as transportation demand management, VMT reduction strategies also can reduce traffic congestion, enable the use of more efficient vehicles, reduce transportation costs, and save time for drivers.
On-road vehicles account for more than 80% of all transportation energy use. Transportation planners and corporate decision makers can implement combinations of these strategies to improve fleet and consumer fuel efficiency by targeting the transportation system as a whole.
