Methods for State DOTs to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Transportation Sector

The objectives of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 25-56 were to develop a guide to assist State departments of transportation (DOTs) in evaluating ways to reduce transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through their activities and decision-making, and to pilot test and improve this guide by working with a select number of DOTs and their local partners. The guide is published as NCHRP WebResource 1: Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Guide for State DOTs. The guide aids DOTs by breaking down technical and institutional issues related to GHG estimation and reduction across the spectrum of an agency’s activities. The guide can be used by individual functional areas in contributing to an integrated agency effort. Each of the guide’s functional unit sections enables individuals to directly access the information they need in order to understand and affect GHG reduction strategies. The guide was not intended to duplicate existing materials on transportation GHG strategies and evaluation methods, but rather to cross-reference in-depth sources that already are available. This report is presented in the following chapters: (1) Summary; (2) Project Approach; (3) Review of Practice and Assessment of Needs, Opportunities, and Barriers; (4) Outreach and Implementation Activities; and (5) Additional Implementation Steps. Appendices include (A) State DOT Survey, (B) State DOT Document Review, (C) Interviews, and (D) Task 7 Workshop Report Summaries.
