Any mode of transportation that is green and has a low environmental effect is considered sustainable transportation. It’s all about juggling our immediate and longterm interests when it comes to transportation. Rolling, riding, transit, carpooling, car sharing, and electric cars are also examples of urban mobility. Transportation is the single greatest cause of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Everyone can further reduce their adverse consequences by opting for efficient transportation instead of driving a vehicle. Transportation emits around a quarter of all pollution, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The typical automobile emits 4,720 kg of CO2 , 186.6 kilograms of CO, 28 kilograms of VOCs , and 25.6 kilograms of NOx .
