Reduce transportation GHG emissions
Project Stage
About the Project
A significant percentage of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Nova Scotia are from transportation. Next to electricity generation, it is the second-highest source of emissions. The transition to zero-emissions vehicles will greatly reduce emissions from the transportation network.
Benefits
- Improves collaboration across departments and jurisdictions
- Helps meet the province's climate targets
FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 5.1.3: Collaborate with provincial departments, municipal partners, and industry on zero-emission transportation investments and initiatives.
Work to decarbonize the grid and the transportation system is underway across the province at many scales. This work plays a key role in significantly reducing GHG emissions from transportation. Link Nova Scotia will support the advancement of cleaner and more sustainable transportation options. This includes expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure, increasing the adoption of zero-emissions vehicles including transit, electric mobility devices such as e-bikes, and promoting the use of clean fuels in transportation.
