Also...bike commuting tripled in Morgantown 2007-2012, albeit from 0.1% to 0.3%.
Happy bike to work day.

Subject: [Bikeboard] Transportation is a significant source of GHG in Morgantown
Sent: Fri, May 16, 2014 6:43:30 AM

I attended Green Night (May 15) to hear Downstream Strategies report on
their initial results of Morgantown’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory (Phase I
of the project).

The most interesting statistic that I took from the presentation was
that transportation (diesel and gas based) is the 2nd most significant
source of greenhouse gas emissions in Morgantown, only Morgantown Energy
Associates power plant along the rail trail produces more GHG.

There are nearly 1 billion vehicle miles travelled (VMT) per year within
the City limits!
