Energy & Sustainability Management Transportation Projects

Transportation

Across the nation, gasoline-powered vehicles are recognized as a primary source of greenhouse emissions. In the Albuquerque area, vehicles are the largest contributor of hazardous air pollutants and emit carbon monoxide that forms ground level ozone. These pollutants can cause lung damage and heart disease, shortening human lifespans. Recognizing the important of reducing vehicle emissions, the City has taken steps to convert to both heavy and light duty vehicles to cleaner burning fuels and electric vehicles.

The City of Albuquerque’s sustainability plans extend beyond City Hall to making sure everyone feels the benefits of a cleaner, greener city. Working with The Nature Conservancy, CABQ commissioned a siting location study to help us figure out where stations would have the most benefit, particularly in neighborhoods with the greatest need. We are finalizing those locations and will be sharing results in early 2020.
