# Transport Data

The transport sector constitutes one of the largest sources of global CO2 emissions. At the same time, the impacts of climate change on transportation infrastructure can have highly localized effects. Access to transport data enables communities, municipalities, and the private sector to plan locally-relevant resiliency initiatives and invest in low-carbon transportation systems. Note: “vehicle” includes on-road, rail, aviation, and waterborne vehicles (passenger and freight).<br>
