Our conversation from November 29, revealed there is a lot to be done in Transportation. Transportation infrastructure projects often represent one of the largest budget items in a municipal area. The movement of goods and people is critical to our economy, but transportation infrastructure projects also shape the way we live. They are very large long term investments. Transportation is responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, not including emissions from the associated petroleum refining, automotive manufacturing, or road-building. Road transport is the dominant source of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 80% of the total. The contributions from transportation are also rising faster than in any other sector.( www.sustainableinfrastructure.crcresearch.org ), The conversation from Nov. 22 on Energy is now archived at http://e-dialogues.royalroads.ca/archives.htm .
