Transportation

One-third of Oregon's energy use comes from transportation: personal cars, fleets, shipments, and more.

The transportation industry moves people and goods throughout the state of Oregon. In some cases we are the starting point or the destination; other times, people or goods are just passing through.

Transportation — by air, water, rail, or road — is the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon, at over a third. At ODOE, our work focuses on increasing the use of alternative fuels like electricity and biofuels, supporting zero-emission vehicle technology, and implementing policies that decrease carbon emissions.
