摘要

While there is no Federal requirement for consideration of greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts in regional and statewide transportation planning, in Massachusetts the Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) requires specific statewide reductions in GHG emissions by the years 2020 and 2050. Tech Environmental, Inc. and MassDOT addressed how to estimate GHG reductions from Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects and use those outputs to inform planning and the project selection process. That work resulted in spreadsheet tools for MassDOT, and its Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), to estimate GHG emission reductions from seven (7) transportation project types that were not previously quantifiable by existing MassDOT methods. The project types covered in this work included investments in alternative fuel vehicles; anti-idling strategies; implementation of bike sharing programs; effects of induced travel; speed reduction programs; use of transit signal priority; and the installation of truck stop electrification stations. The new tools are now used to better estimate the GHG reductions from MassDOT-funded Transportation Improvement Program projects, and to inform future transportation-sector GHG projections. This paper presents a review of GHG reduction goals in Massachusetts, specifically related to the transportation industry. Also presented is a detailed review of six (6) existing international tools discovered for estimating GHG impacts at the project planning level, and which, through this project, components of those tools have been adopted by MassDOT for use in estimating GHG reductions from transportation projects in Massachusetts.
