Declaration
We, the participants of the Asilomar Conference on transportation and climate change, declare that:
- Climate change is real, transportation's greenhouse gas emissions are a major part of this global problem, and they must be reduced.
- U.S. national policy has so far failed to adequately address transportation's role in climate change; this must be remedied.
- By judiciously crafting a portfolio of solutions, we can reduce transportation's greenhouse gas emissions while creating a better transportation system for current and future generations.
This Declaration represents the sense of the participants. The participants drafted this Declaration on the final day of the three days of proceedings. The conference sponsors have not reviewed nor do they necessarily endorse the Declaration.
