Transportation Sustainability

What is the main environmental concern associated with the transportation sector?

• Noise pollution
• Deforestation
• Carbon emissions
• Water pollution

Which transportation mode is generally the most energy-efficient?

• Air transport
• Rail transport
• Road transport
• Maritime transport

Centralized transportation networks typically result in:

• Higher local emissions but lower global emissions
• Lower local emissions but higher global emissions
• Lower energy consumption due to shorter distances
• Higher energy consumption due to dispersed traffic

Dispersed transportation networks are perceived as more environmentally friendly because:

• They use renewable energy sources
• They spread out emissions over a wider area
• They rely on centralized hubs for energy efficiency
• They reduce fuel consumption

Which transportation mode contributes the most to global CO2 emissions?

• Shipping
• Aviation
• Rail
• Road transport

What is the biggest factor influencing emissions from vehicles?

• Speed
• Fuel type
• Number of passengers
• Road conditions

Which of the following is considered a sustainable practice in global transportation?

• Increasing the number of private cars
• Using alternative fuels like biofuels and electric power
• Expanding highways
• Increasing air freight

How can public transportation help reduce carbon emissions?

• By reducing the number of private vehicles on the road
• By operating faster than private cars
• By lowering noise pollution
• By using non-renewable fuel sources

What is one way to reduce emissions in maritime transportation?

• Increasing the speed of cargo ships
• Using larger vessels with higher capacities
• Switching from diesel fuel to liquefied natural gas (LNG)
• Reducing shipping routes

What is the primary benefit of electric vehicles (EVs) in terms of sustainability?

• They are faster than gasoline vehicles
• They do not produce any carbon emissions during operation
• They are cheaper to manufacture
• They require fewer resources to build
