“Number of people transported is more important than number of vehicles transported” – National Transportation Policy, 2005, India”

As a growing metro area, Las Vegas residents often need to drive or take the bus to reach their destinations, whether those be work, school or errands. These distances mean greater amounts of fossil fuel emissions, and consequently greater pollution and environmental degradation. However, these effects can be mitigated, either through the adoption of reduced-emission vehicles, the investment in infrastructure, or the development of incentive programs to change transportation habits.
