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.
