Energy Use & Environmental Protection
"Transportation investments, services and incentives should meet our travel
needs, promote economic prosperity and environmental justice, preserve and
protect open space, scenic resources and agricultural land, protect and enhance
the integrity of natural resource systems and wild places and improve air and
water quality. Such efforts can promote resource efficiency and energy
conservation, while reducing reliance on foreign oil and offering solutions to
climate change." - From the Alliance for a New Transportation Charter
