Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation account for about 29% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest contributor of U.S. GHG emissions. The bipartisan Freight RAILCAR Act enhances environmental stability and encourages investment in the transportation sector by incentivizing investment in the North American freight rail fleet. The benefits will be an environmental game-changer for this vital industry and the U.S. overall.
