The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

From 2016 to 2017, CO 2 emissions from the transportation end-use sector increased by 1.21%. Between 1990 and 2004, average fuel economy among new vehicles sold annually declined, as sales of light-duty trucks increased. The transportation sector now generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in the US—28.9%
