Biden Administration Unveils Blueprint to Decarbonize Transportation Sector

The Biden Administration released the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization (Blueprint) on Jan. 10, 2023, setting forth a comprehensive strategy for federal leadership and partnerships to decarbonize the transportation sector in order to achieve the economy-wide 2030 and 2050 emissions reduction goals.¹

The transportation sector is the largest source of GHG emissions in the U.S., responsible for one-third of all emissions. Further, transportation is closely interconnected with other sectors of the economy. For example, electric vehicles (EV) rely on electricity generation and will have different implications for manufacturing relative to manufacturing of internal combustion engine vehicles.
