Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Toolkit

Oregon Department of Transportation

APG designed and produced the Oregon Greenhouse Gas Reduction Toolkit, a set of strategies and case studies to help local jurisdictions identify and explore the kinds of actions and programs which can help reduce GHG emissions from transportation. These actions included programmatic elements such as transportation demand management and car sharing, as well as urban design techniques like maxmim block length, roadway design, and access management. The team conducted interviews with public agency staff, real estate professionals, and business leaders to write several case studies of these strategies in action.
APG also worked with filmmaker Bob Wall to create a video explaining role local land use and transportation strategies can play in reducing GHG emissions.

The strategies, case studies, and video have been published online:
