Emissions, Environment

The Transportation GHG Calculator is a state-level spreadsheet tool for estimating GHG emissions based on the Federal Highway Administration's detailed methodology in their national performance and emissions measure rule.

This tool was developed for calculating base year (2022) GHG emissions and testing the sensitivity of future GHG emissions to various inputs. Questions? Comments? Contact Anna McLaughlin (AASHTO) or William Robert (Spy Pond Partners, LLC) for more information on the GHG Calculator.

Emissions, Environment

This WebResource describes methods State DOTs may implement to assess and reduce their GHG emissions. The resource includes self-assessment tools, an overview of climate change issues, a framework for addressing GHG emissions, and numerous resources and links. The report organizes around nine functional areas of the agency, with cross-cutting topics to pull it all together. Through the discussions, tools, and resources in each section, the report provides support for reducing emissions across all stages of a project, from policy and planning to construction and maintenance. It also reviews stakeholder communication, partnerships with other agencies, and federal or state requirements. Readers may use this guide and its flexible presentation for addressing specific areas within an agency or to adopt an agency-wide approach.
