Transportation Summary
Transportation accounts for between 25% and 38% of energy use in most cities in industrialized countries. Local governments, in partnership with metropolitan planning organizations and regional transportation authorities, play a critical role when it comes to maximizing this sector’s energy efficiency potential. Municipalities, for instance, must take the lead in shaping land use, as they have jurisdiction over zoning laws and regulations. Likewise, central cities and other job centers can have a significant influence over commuting behavior and choices, which are major factors in transportation energy use. Metrics in this section are, in most cases, policies that local policymakers can have influence over in the short run. Policies concerning all modes of transportation and the corresponding infrastructure are included in this section, including personal vehicles, public transportation, and freight.The City of Akron is served by the Akron METRO Regional Transit Authority (AMRTA), a regional transit authority which provides bussing services to the the city.
