About one quarter of total U.S. energy consumption comes from transportation*. And in Connecticut, transportation accounts for 38% of all carbon emissions. Fortunately, there are many options to get you where you need to be, while also reducing your carbon footprint.
Leave the gas station behind and significantly cut your carbon footprint by switching to an electric vehicle (EV). Learn all about EVs, including how to choose one, incentives for purchasing one, where to charge your EV (even when on a trip) and some myth-busting facts about common EV concerns.
Using public transportation benefits us all because it reduces the number of people driving single-occupancy vehicles. The more people that use public transportation, the larger the impact, including a decrease in air pollution, less fossil fuel consumption, and a reduction in our carbon footprint. Learn all about the public transportation options in the Town of Westport.
