Accession Number: 00986016
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This report begins with a review of Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Project H-21, "Combating Global Warming with Sustainable Surface Transportation Policy," and a summary of the extension project, H-21A, including its three tasks to: create a criteria pollutant emissions calculator for transit fleets; develop an "Emissions Avoided Module" for trip planning websites; and create a learning center for youth and educators. The three tasks have been incorporated as a complete on-line product; this product is available for interactive use at www.TravelMatters.org. The approach and methodology related to each task is fully described. The report concludes with research recommendations to further assist transit agencies seeking to reduce climate change emissions. The appendices at the end of the report provide additional information on each task, including screenshots of various components of the TravelMatters website.
