The dashed blue line is 2005 emissions; the scale on the right shows the percent of 2005 level. Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. Source: Morrow et al.

The net result in 2050 is a less than 1 percent increase from 2005 in GHG emissions from transportation, as the US population grows and travel increases. Tags: Climate Change Emissions Policy.
