Transportation
Transportation connects us to the world, but it’s also our single largest source of emissions.
Tracking emission from transportation
Transportation caused 42% of B.C.’s total emissions in 2021.
Breaking down emissions from transportation
We measure emissions caused by operating:
- Passenger vehicles like cars, trucks, ATVs and motorcycles
- Trains and heavy-duty trucks that move goods
- Off-road vehicles like those used by farms and mines
- Airplanes and helicopters (within B.C.)
- Public transit, like buses and ferries
- Commercial and recreational boats
Getting roads ready for climate change
We’re strengthening highways and resource roads so they won’t be washed out by future floods.
