The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization
Transportation is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, accounting for one-third of all emissions. The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization is a first-of-its-kind strategy for federal leadership and partnerships to decarbonize the entire U.S. transportation sector. This Blueprint provides comprehensive solutions to decarbonize the transportation sector through three key strategies implementation:
Increase convenience: by improving community design and land-use planning,
Improve efficiency: by expanding affordable, accessible, and reliable options to travel efficiently.
Transition to clean options: by deploying zero-emission vehicles and fuels for cars, rails, boats, airplanes, and more.
Potential Solutions:
Audio announcements or visual displays on buses and trains to indicate upcoming stops and transfers for passengers with visual impairments.
Low-floor buses or trains that are equipped with ramps or lifts for wheelchair users.
Braille or large print signage at bus stops and train stations to provide information about routes, schedules and other important details for passengers with visual impairments.
Training for transportation staff on how to assist passengers with disabilities, including how to properly operate ramps and lifts and how to provide directions and other information in a clear and concise manner.
Automated stop announcements, GPS tracking, and mobile apps to enhance real-time information availability, and trip planning
CCTV surveillance, emergency communication devices, and emergency alarm system, to ensure personal safety and security of people with disabilities
Designated priority seating for passengers with disabilities on buses and trains.
Sensitivity training for law enforcement and other personnel who interact with people with disabilities to improve their understanding of the needs of people with disabilities and to reduce the likelihood of discrimination.
