The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization ("the Blueprint") is a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Blueprint acknowledges that the transportation sector is the largest contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States and seeks to meet the goal of net-zero GHG emissions economy-wide by 2050[1].
The Blueprint emphasizes a collaborative approach involving federal, state, and local governments, private sector stakeholders, and communities to achieve its decarbonization goals. It also highlights the need for significant investment in infrastructure, research and development, and workforce training to support the transition to a low-carbon transportation system. The Blueprint builds on previous initiatives and, as an integrated strategy, guides future policymaking and research through the development of detailed action plans in three stages: Before 2030–Turning the Tide on Transportation GHGs: Research and Investments to Support Deployment; 2030-2040–Accelerating Change: Scaling Up Deployment of Clean Solutions; and 2040-2050–Completing the Transition: A Sustainable and Equitable Future.
The Blueprint has five guiding principles: Implement Bold Actions to Achieve Measurable Results; Embrace Creative Solutions Across the Transportation System; Ensure Safety, Equity, and Access; Increase Collaboration; and Establish U.S. Leadership.
The Blueprint's three key strategies are to increase the convenience of transportation through community design and land use planning, improve the efficiency and accessibility of transportation modes, and drive GHG emission reduction through the transition to clean options, which will simultaneously serve as a way to create jobs and strengthen the energy independence of the United States[2].
