The following sections evaluatethe infrastructure and fuel use of each of the modes oftransport (sections 1.1-1.5), the current and projectedgreenhouse gas emissions from the sector and the reasons forthis (section 2), and typologies of interventions that canreduce the emissions from the sector (section 3).
