If traffic remained reduced for one year, the reduction in VMT would allow California to meet half of its 2050 climate change target. Fuel saved, tax revenue lost. It also resulted in fuel-tax revenue reductions, which vary by state. California has a target of 80% reduction in GHG from 1990 levels by 2050.

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. The largest reductions in GHG emissions from transportation are obtained by increasing the cost of driving with fuel taxes, resulting in lower emissions in 2030 than in 2010.
