No big surprise there, as coastal states tend to be blue and have implemented building and energy efficiency standards going back decades, plus they have ports, rail and road connections to the rest of the country. The list of states above with the lowest % of transportation CO2 all have large sources of/industries using fossil-fuels.
In 2018, US states with the highest shares of CO2 emissions coming from transportation were primarily located along the eastern and western coasts, with California, Hawaii, and Washington having the highest share at 59%, followed closely by Idaho at 58%.
The four lowest states were Louisiana (19%), North Dakota (15%), West Virginia (14%), and Wyoming (12%). Nationally, 37% of CO2 emissions were from transportation.
