A report released earlier this summer by released by EMBARQ—the World Resources Institute’s Center for Sustainable Transport—found that the US must achieve significant improvements in vehicle technology and reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita to meet targeted reductions in oil consumption and greenhouse gases.

Lee Schipper, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley:
One of EPA’s vital services is testing and certifying various products. When I started EMBARQ, the WRI Center for Sustainable Transport I was besieged by emails about snake-oil cures for engine emissions and poor fuel economy.

"I have no doubts that the ridership will emerge to make everything pay," said Lee Schipper, a transportation expert at the University of California, Berkeley. "Particularly if problems maintaining or expanding the nation's highways and airports drive up the costs of using roads or air."
