Cars and other light vehicles make up the biggest share of Australia’s transport emissions. Every trip you don’t drive has little or no tailpipe at all.
How we calculated this11: Sustainable cities and communities · 13: Climate action
Transport makes up around 22% of Australia’s carbon dioxide emissions, and light vehicles like cars, utes and vans were about 60% of transport emissions in 2022. The average vehicle on Aussie roads emits about 191 g of CO2 for every kilometre driven, and the average commute is about 16 km each way.
Walking, running and riding come in at zero tailpipe emissions. Trains and buses spread their emissions across a lot of passengers.
There’s something in it for you too. A run or ride commute is training you don’t have to find extra time for, and it beats sitting in traffic.
Because protecting the places we play starts with how we get to work on a Tuesday morning. 💙
