Effects of new urban greenways on transportation energy use and greenhouse gas emissions: A longitudinal study from Vancouver, Canada

- First longitudinal study evaluating changes in GHG emissions from an urban greenway.
- Tracked a cohort of 524 residents over a period of three years from 2012 to 2015.
- Residents living near the greenway reduced their transport GHG emissions by 21%.
- Residents living near the greenway reduced their vehicle usage and drove less.
