Transit Greenhouse Gas Management Compendium

This project supports the efforts of the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to developing a compendium of strategies and best practices for reducing transit agency emissions of greenhouse gases. A key feature of the Compendium will be its ability to help a transit agency develop and compare its current greenhouse gases (GHG) estimates against potential or proposed system improvements. The compendium will serve as a central information point, as well as a useful handbook to transit managers in planning and decision-making. Metropolitan Atlanta Regional Transit Authority (MARTA) will partner with Georgia Tech. The Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance will also be an active participant.
