Vehicle Emissions-Reduction Strategies
In broad terms, strategies to reduce vehicle emissions can include:
- cleaner vehicles: regulating emission standards for new vehicles/engines;
- cleaner fuels: regulating fuel composition to reduce emissions;
- vehicle inspection programs: mandatory vehicle emissions testing;
- vehicle scrappage programs: incentive programs designed to get old higher polluting vehicles off the road;
- consumer education: on items like idling, vehicle operation and maintenance; and
- programs to encourage cleaner, alternative transportation: such as carpooling, public transit, walking and biking.
