ABSTRACT
The transportation sector in the US is the largest producer of CO2 emissions,
accounting for at least 29% of all emissions. There is a widespread belief that more
effective and efficient CO2 emission-reduction strategies will result from enhanced
transportation infrastructure. The hypothesis that population and GDP growth serve as
a facilitator in the relationship between transportation infrastructure and CO2
emissions is discussed and evaluated in this study. To analyze the impact of
transportation-related CO2 emissions on the US economy, we evaluated five different
factors using the Logarithm Mean Divisia Index and Kaya identity. These factors
include carbon intensity, energy structure, energy intensity, GDP/Population, and
Population. Of all these factors, the per capita annual income and population increase
the emission of CO2 in the economic sectors but we also found that the carbon
intensity, energy intensity, and energy structure reduce the CO2 emission of the
transport sector. However, given that the available funding for advancing vehicleimproving innovation is insufficient, fiscal policies should be developed to support the
study and implementation of hybrid power generation and fully electric vehicles.
These policies should also include incentives to make it easier to buy and use vehicles
powered by renewable energies.
