Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

ROADMAP TO NET ZERO  57

COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILE SOURCES Emissions associated with transportation and mobile sources accounted for 40% of 2019 community GHG emissions in Fort Lauderdale. This sector includes emissions associated with on-road vehicles, public transit, and air traffic from the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, which is owned and operated by the City of Fort Lauderdale. Two major strategies are needed to reduce and eliminate GHG emissions from transportation and mobile sources: (1) reduction of overall vehicle-miles traveled (VMTs), and (2) the transition to low-carbon modes of transportation, including alternative fuel vehicles such as electric vehicles (EVs). The interim projections for reduced GHG emissions from community-wide transportation and mobility improvements are shown in Figure 17 . 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 specific to community transportation and mobile sources detailed in this Plan. A significant portion of these emissions will be reduced through external influences such as a generalized shift to EVs and expanded EV infrastructure, in combination with an increasingly renewable grid. For more details on emissions reductions from each strategy, including projected emissions in MTCO 2 e, see Appendix B, Detailed Interim Goals .
