Hensher, David A.Abstract
As we promote the need to reduce emissions at the tailpipe for cars, trucks, and buses, we may be neglecting the full story on what this might mean for achieving a broad set of sustainability goals. While not denying the merits of reducing tailpipe emissions, there are many unresolved questions about the indirect emission impacts as well as other sustainability impacts such as traffic congestion. This short paper attempts to place the debate within a wider setting if only to achieve more than what we see government myopically focusing on.As we promote the need to reduce emissions at the tailpipe for cars, trucks, and buses, we may be neglecting the full story on what this might mean for achieving a broad set of sustainability goals.
