The Transportation sector is the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Evansville, accounting for approximately 15.0% of total community-wide emissions. This sector includes emissions from passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, and other on-road transportation throughout the city. As a mid-sized city in southwest Indiana situated along major highway corridors, Evansville's transportation patterns are heavily automobile-dependent, which drives a significant portion of these emissions.
The City's 2025 Climate Action Plan identifies Transportation as one of five key focus areas for emissions reduction. Evansville is investing in expanding transportation choices through improvements to public transit, active transportation infrastructure, and clean vehicle adoption.
