Strategies that reduce VMT will <br />have the greatest impact, followed by switching to EVs. Many of the EV strategies will rely, to some extent, on <br />market forces and the grid mix. The city will need to consider alternatives to offsetting remaining travel <br />emissions. Overall, these strategies will result in a 27% reduction in vehicle emissions and 8.4% reduction in <br />overall emissions. <br />
