Oregon state agencies and local governments are working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
We’ve been working to reduce emissions from transportation for over a decade. In 2018, the data showed Oregon was off track from meeting the 2050 goal, so the group adjusted policies and made new investments.
The 2022 data revealed Oregon is much closer to the 2050 goal, but more work needs to be done. Visit the About the Plan page to learn about the plan underlying the goal, how the data is collected, and how reducing emissions will benefit Oregon.
Emissions reduction progress
To reach the goal, we’re working in six transportation categories to reduce growth in vehicle miles traveled, and to clean up each vehicle mile. Click each tile below to learn more about each category. Learn more about the plan to reduce emissions.
Transportation Options
Creating opportunities for Oregonians to use all modes of transportation, like biking, walking/rolling, or public transit.
Land Use
How far people have to travel between home, work, shopping, and other daily necessities.
Pricing, Funding and Markets
Policies that affect the cost of travel so all transportation users pay their fair share, and help maintain our system.
System Operations
Manage road growth, reduce traffic congestion, and move people and goods efficiently.
Vehicle Technology
The types of engines or motors used to power the vehicle, and ways to make vehicles more efficient.
Fuel Technology
Ways to reduce the amount of carbon emitted by the fuels used for transporting people and goods.
Category progress
We’re tracking our progress in each transportation category.
Overall we’re moving in the right direction to meet our 2050 goals, but there is room to improve. Explore each category above to learn more.
