The LTR won't be a substantial greenhouse reducer - here's why:

The LTR patron will be a consumer of that service when it is more convenient for them to take the light rail than their own personal vehicle. The primary goal for riders will be convenience, not pollution reduction. If this is difficult to understand, consider it akin to the HOV/Car pool lanes.

No one (almost no one, to be safe) car pools because they want to take the car pool lane or reduce emissions - they car pool first and foremost out of convenience, while other consequences are secondary and often unintended. I suspect the LRT will operate and cater to customers in much the same fashion.

Overall, the reduction will be a drop in the bucket.
