Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

94  ROADMAP TO NET ZERO

MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILE SOURCES The vehicle fleet accounted for nearly a quarter of municipal GHG emissions in 2019. Aligned with the Community Strategies, there are two major strategies to reduce and eliminate GHG emissions from transportation and mobility: (1) reduction of overall VMTs, and (2) the transition to electric modes of transportation. The interim projections for reduced GHG emissions from municipal vehicle fleet and employee commute improvements are shown in Figure 24 . These percentages represent changes from 2019 baseline GHG emissions and reflect emissions reductions forecasted in the LA scenario and the implementation of the strategies and actions described in this Plan. A significant portion of these emissions will be reduced through external influences such as the increased availability of EVs and EV infrastructure and improved public transit options. For more details on emissions reductions from each strategy, including projected emissions in MTCO 2 e, see Appendix B, Detailed Interim Goals .

FIGURE 24. PROJECTED CHANGES IN GHG EMISSIONS FOR MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY STRATEGIES

To meet the reductions in GHG emissions related to employee commuting, the City needs to: ▪ By 2030, reduce emissions by 29% from the 2019 baseline by encouraging and incentivizing employees to use public transportation and educating them about EVs. ▪ By 2040, reduce emissions by 74% from the 2019 baseline by embracing flexible and remote work schedules, where feasible, and reducing unnecessary business travel.
