White House
The President’s modern American industrial strategy seeks to address market failures that prevent the U.S. economy from serving the nation’s economic and national security needs, including by building a clean energy economy. Transportation accounts for the largest share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions (about a third), with most transportation emissions coming from light-duty vehicles— the cars, small trucks, and vans that many of us drive. Meeting the President’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050 will require large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which can produce fewer—or zero—emissions.

Coloradans around the state are calling for reduced housing costs and better transit options, and this roadmap details common sense actions we can take to deliver the results Coloradans deserve, while protecting our environment and the resources we rely on,” Governor Polis said.
