One Person, Ten Steps

Transportation in Miami

Transportation accounts for approximately 40% of the City’s greenhouse gas emissions. Miami is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from through five strategies: (1) reducing vehicle miles traveled; (2) increasing fuel efficiency of vehicles; 3) switching to less carbon intensive fuel sources; (4) improving the accessibility to mass transit; and (5) encouraging bicycling and walking through the built environment.

City Fleet

The City is reducing vehicle emissions from the City’s fleet through the purchase of hybrids and more fuel efficient vehicles. In 2008, the City passed a Green Fleets Ordinance to reduce fuel consumption and the efficiency of the fleet by 5% each year.

The Bike Action Committee is a working committee of the City's Green Commission. The Committee is developing a Bike Action Plan for the City to increase total bicycle lane miles within the city as well as bike safety and access.

Commuting

The City has launched a partnership with South Florida Commuter Services to promote mass transportation and commuting, including providing discount metro passes to employees and priority parking for a van pool in the MRC garage, and new covered bike racks.
