• Abstract:
  The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) offers an unprecedented opportunity to reduce climate pollution from transportation by providing funding specifically for doing so and by requiring states to develop State Carbon Reduction Strategies (CRSs). Strategies are to support efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from on-road highway sources and must be developed in consultation with metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the state. Strategies were due November 15, 2023, and must be updated every four years. States took different approaches, based on their unique circumstances, geographies, and contexts. Some built on decades of greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis and state legislative commitments to GHG targets. Others were just embarking on this area of work. Most states thought strategically about how to align transportation funding in general, not just Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) funding, towards GHG reduction as one of a set of strategic goals.
