Alisiya [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Two measures that have been introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of  gas are the introduction of light-rail and the use of carpool lanes.  

Explanation:

The introduction of light-rail will reduce the consumption of gas from personal vehicles and also reduce personal vehicle carbon emissions. One example is the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Los Angeles has a system that combines light rail and heavy rail called Metro Rail. The use of carpool lanes will reduce the use of gas and help to reduce traffic congestion because there will be less cars on the road in high traffic areas where there is a large percentage of the population who commutes to and from work on freeways. Carpool lanes or High Capacity Vehicle (HCV) lanes are found in metropolitan areas like Washington DC.

The nation’s oldest baseball field, Rickwood Field, which opened in 1910, is located in Birmingham.

3. Arkansas: Little Rock became the capital of the territory of Arkansas in 1821. The name “little rock” comes from the French explorer Bernard de la Harpe. In 1722, he saw rock formations jutting out from the Ouachita Mountains and named one group the big rock and the other the little rock.

4. California: this is the third largest city in the United States. California boasts mountains that are visible from just about anywhere in the state. Two main mountain ranges dominate: the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Range. The Coast Range runs from the northwest all the way down to the Mexican border, across 800 miles of terrain.
