Transportation emissions have overtaken buildings and now represent the largest source of emissions in Eagle County. The Climate Action Collaborative is working to increase vehicle electrification and EV charging and to encourage public transit ridership, carpooling, and sustainable multimodal transportation options.

Priority Actions

From the 2020 Climate Action Plan Update

2% increase in electric vehicle penetration each year as a percentage of all registered vehicles in Eagle County.

Implement a behavior change campaign to reduce single-occupancy vehicle commute trips 2 days per week by encouraging local businesses to provide smart commuting incentives or establish policies to support multi-modal commuting, flexible work arrangements, and remote work.

Strive for 50% of the workforce living within 5 miles of their employment center via mixed-use communities, affordable community housing near job centers, and intercommunity multi-modal transportation options.
