Transportation and Mobility Implementation Committee
Transportation activities in Bethlehem account for about 20% of the city’s total community-wide GHG emissions. This is primarily the result of over 450 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) over a single year. The purpose of this section’s strategies is to promote the use of low emission or zero-emission vehicles by residents, businesses, and government, to increase public transportation use, improve walkability, increase bicycling, and generally provide safe and alternative transportation modes to fossil fuel vehicles.
The Transportation and Mobility Implementation Committee meets with the ideas and goals from this section in mind.
