Greenhouse gas (GHG) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) impact mitigation requires state and local governments to align large transportation projects, typically highway expansions, with their climate targets. In some states, these projects must include mitigation measures, such as public transit investments, that offset or lower estimated increases in GHGs and/or VMTs. |
