Considering Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change in Environmental Reviews: Resources for State DOTs

The objective of this research is to develop and pilot a handbook for state DOTs with resources and approaches for addressing GHG emissions and climate change impacts in environmental reviews. The handbook will include details on available methodologies and replicable examples that: (1) use defensible methods; (2) clearly disclose impacts to communities and other stakeholders; (3) respond meaningfully to public comments and community concerns; and (4) inform mitigation efforts and transportation decision-making.
