Abstract:This study resulted in the development of the GASCAP model (the Greenhouse Gas Assessment
Spreadsheet for Transportation Capital Projects). This spreadsheet model provides a user-friendly interface for determining the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transportation
construction and maintenance projects. The components of the model account for materials used,
construction equipment, recycled materials, project staging and mobilization, traffic disruption
due to project staging, life-cycle maintenance, induced travel of new lane miles, and a procedure
for estimating GHG emissions from rail construction. The model is available for use at
www.gascap.org. The project includes analysis of four case studies to demonstrate the
capabilities of the GASCAP model.
