Estimating Transportation-Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use in New York State

The U.S. Department of Transportation Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting has released a report produced in partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation that assesses the transportation-related components of the New York State Energy Plan.  The report is designed to develop a baseline and projection for energy use and CO2 emissions for the state and by sector, and for each metropolitan planning organization (MPO) in the state by mode.  The report also examines MPO experiences and responses to the new energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis contained in the state energy plan and evaluates potential energy savings and GHG reductions from selected transportation strategies.
