Ground Travel
Environmental Indicators
Ground travel represents motorized transportation within Fort Collins city limits. Ground transportation emissions account for about 20% of the community’s carbon inventory. These emissions occur when vehicles burn gasoline and diesel, both fossil fuels. As public transit, biking, and walking become more feasible for day to day needs, and alternative fuel vehicles, such as electric vehicles, replace traditional vehicles, these emissions will decline, helping the community reach its climate action goals.
