Developing a Framework for a Toolkit for Carbon Footprint that Integrates Transit (C-FIT)
The National Center for Transit Research at the University of South Florida has released a report that explores five transportation planning processes used in Florida to determine how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions considerations can be incorporated into the processes.
The processes examined include the federal metropolitan planning organization long-range transportation planning process and transportation improvement programming with application of federal Clean Air Act (CAA) air quality conformity analysis; the National Environmental Policy Act environmental review process with application of CAA air quality conformity analysis; the Florida local government comprehensive planning process; and the Florida development of regional impact review process.
The report includes a review of GHG emissions calculation tools and their applicability to each planning process.
