Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategies
Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategies for transportation include not just transport-focused strategies, like changing vehicle fuel mix, but also strategies that result in different transport behavior like encouraging mixed-use development. For the purposes of the Central Lane Scenario Planning process, reductions in GHG emissions as a result of improved vehicle and fuel technology will not be considered. These strategies are largely employed at the state and national scale, such that individual communities have little overall impact on implementation. The Central Lane scenario planning process will instead focus on reduction strategies that the region can implement in four areas of public policy: community design, pricing, marketing and incentives, and management.
