Transportation

CAC-Icon-Transportation
 Transportation emissions are our largest sector of emissions in Eagle County and they are on the rise. The Climate Action Collaborative  is working to develop robust multi-modal transportation options so our community members can more easily leave their cars behind.

Priority Actions

From the 2020 Climate Action Plan Update


  • 2% increase in electric vehicle penetration each year as a percentage of all registered vehicles in Eagle County.
  • Implement a behavior change campaign to reduce single-occupancy vehicle commute trips 2 days per week by encouraging local businesses to provide smart commuting incentives or establish policies to support multi-modal commuting, flexible work arrangements, and remote work.
  • Strive for 50% of the workforce living within 5 miles of their employment center via mixed-use communities, affordable community housing near job centers, and intercommunity multi-modal transportation options.
