Citywide Transportation Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories
The ability to accurately measure emissions in a city or a region plays an important role in developing climate action plans, as it can inform local officials on the total magnitude of emissions, as well as the contributions of different sectors and transport modes. In addition, transportation emissions inventories play a key role in climate and energy legislation at the state, national and international level in the United States, where draft climate legislation in 2010 required regional transportation emissions reduction plans, which must include inventories at the regional or aggregated level.
