Abstract:

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continue to be ; an important focus area for state, local, and ; federal agencies. The transportation sector is the ; second biggest contributor to GHG emissions in ; the United States, and Texas contributes the ; highest emissions among states in the country. ; Many states have implemented policies and ; programs targeting greenhouse gas emissions ; reductions through climate action plans and ; other initiatives, which cover a range of sectors ; including transportation. ; Also, many transportation agencies (state ; departments of transportation, metropolitan ; planning organizations MPOs, and others) are ; moving toward tackling the issue of GHG ; emissions on a voluntary or state-level policy ; basis. It is also expected that in the future, ; federal regulations could require that these ; agencies address GHG emissions or that ; transportation funding may also be tied to a ; demonstration of GHG reductions in long-range ; transportation planning (LRTP).
