Despite having the most ambitious climate plan in the nation pass in July 2019, the State of New York is still lagging on setting any sector-specific targets to curb transportation emissions.
The Sierra Club’s report Transforming Transportation in New York: Roadmaps to a Transportation Climate Target by 2035, developed with Synapse Energy Economics, calls on Governor Cuomo to commit to a reduction in motor vehicle emissions of 55% by 2035 in New York.
The report models three scenarios to evaluate the impacts of incremental policies on vehicle electrification and GHG reductions, as well as the public health and economic benefits that would result from implementing these policies.
