Carbon Foot Print

Check out C&J's carbon foot print calculator related to the reduction of carbon monoxide and other pollutants resulting from automobile emissions.

In addition to the C&J footprint calculator, also provided is a passenger footprint calculator for YOU to view your individual savings and contributions to reducing emissions.

“One of the first steps to reducing our carbon footprint is to provide education and awareness. Our passengers play vital roles in the improvement of the environment each time they take the bus and we felt it important to quantify how much by offering these tools to our customers.”, says Jim Jalbert, C&J President.

By riding C&J and supporting motorcoach transportation, you are taking the greenest mode of travel, and here are some of the reasons why;

C&J FOOTPRINT CALCULATOR

The Statistics are based on May 2009 Total Passenger Counts
By taking the bus, C&J riders have contributed in the following way,

1,411,535
miles saved by taking the bus in May
7.08
million miles saved by taking the bus this year
17.33
million miles saved by taking the bus in the past 12 months

By taking the bus, C&J riders have saved,

34,989
gallons of gasoline this month, and $136,109 in fuel savings
175,306
gallons of gasoline this year, and $681,941 in fuel savings
444,282
gallons of gasoline in the past 12 months, and $1,728,256 in fuel savings

and have NOT RELEASED this much CARBON DIOXIDE to contribute to global warming**:

327
tons CO2 this month
1,638
tons CO2 this year
4,152
tons CO2 in the past 12 months

Other pollutants NOT EMITTED by our customer's cars include***:

* Net of the fuel used to power our buses. Price of gasoline = $3.89 a gallon
** Net of CO2 emitted by our buses
*** Net of emissions from our buses

PASSENGER FOOT PRINT CALCULATOR

In the last 12 months, how many times have you taken the bus? We calculate for you the cost and environmental benefits below.

(please follow the steps)

Choose Location
Number of one way trips made in the last 12 months example (100)
MPG (example. 22.00)
Price per gallon (example 3.89)
You avoided driving miles in your own car.
You saved
gallons of gasoline and...
in fuel costs.

and you DID NOT Emmit into the atmospere *
pounds carbon dioxide (CO2)
pounds nitrogen oxides (NOx)
pounds particulate (PM)
pounds carbon monoxide (CO)
pounds volatile organic carbon (VOC)

* Net of average bus emissions per passenger mile. If "NO DATA" is shown it is because average bus emissions for the previous 12 months are not available. Negative ( ) numbers mean that bus emissions per passenger mile are higher than emissions from your car.
