Description:

This Compendium provides a framework for identifying greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction opportunities while highlighting specific examples of effective GHG reduction practices. The GHG savings benefits of public transit are first described. GHG saving opportunities are then organized under four activity areas: Agency Planning for System Expansions and Major Construction Projects; Agency Fleet Procurement Practices; Agency Fleet Operation and Maintenance Practices; and Agency Support for Green Buildings and Green Workforce Practices. The Compendium includes a detailed GHG footprint for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority in Atlanta GA, demonstrating how agencies can use the data they collect to develop an annual GHG footprint. This footprint is based on reporting recommendations made by the American Public Transportation Association, using a three-scope emissions accounting system similar to the protocols developed by The Climate Registry and World Resources Institute.
