520			_aABSTRACT 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. Keywords: Carbon intensity, Emissions, Energy intensity, GDP per capita, Transport sector
