Carbon Emissions Per Passenger Mile for Different Modes of Transportation

There are many reasons people here on metrojacksonville are interested in public transportation, and many of those reasons are inter-related. However the prime reason today is the necessity to lessen our dependence on Oil and reduce our carbon emissions.

So here is a handy chart to keep in mind when we talk rail or any other form of public transportation:



Keep in mind, as is often repeated here on metrojacksonville, that air travel is government subsidized, as is car travel.

Do you have any information regarding a "Motorcycle" Ms Faye? I use mine alot in close, in town even though it is fully capable to go long range if needed. I have a Triumph 955I Daytona..........British sport bike. That is not your average motorcycle, more of a sport type but it does get pretty decent mileage if I don't go real fast all over the place.
