This presentation includes the 10 cars sold in the USA with the best mileage, electric cars coming to a freeway near you, smart apps that take Google Maps to the next level in helping us mix driving and transit, and how we will soon have one billion riders on high-speed rail globally.

APA PowerPoint and Podcast

Now you can hear John Addison’s presentation to the American Planning Association (APA) and download the presentation. Transportation is a major consideration when planning a region, city, suburb, or even a town center. It has become increasingly common for plans to discuss greenhouse gas emissions in addition to traffic congestion. The good news is that every day, more people are riding clean, riding less, and riding together. This means that millions are spending less on gasoline, helping our country become energy secure, and reducing emissions.

John Addison, author of the book Save Gas, Save the Planet, discussed how planners, government leaders, and engaged citizens can help create vibrant and sustainable communities through rail, bus rapid transit, last miles solutions to make transit accessible, bicycle and walking mode shifts, electric and high mileage cars, transportation demand management programs, and smart growth initiatives that include transit oriented development. Invite John Addison to speak at your next event. APA Presentation

Save Gas, Save the Planet

Now that your home is more sustainable, it’s time to take on your car. In this presentation, John Addison shares how people ride clean, ride together, and ride less. It’s not all or nothing. You have more choices than you think in fuel efficient vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles. Understand how Americans are driving fewer miles each month due to demographic shifts, flexwork, employer commute programs, public transportation, and high-speed rail. People are being rewarded with a smaller carbon footprint, saving thousands of dollars, and having more time to enjoy life.

Ride Cleaner. Be Cooler. Save the Planet

John Addison made this presentation at the University of California San Diego. Slides include vehicles with lowest greenhouse gases, electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, fuel cell vehicles, biofuels, and ways that people are adjusting their work and play to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
