Potential Transportation Issues for Consideration in Phase V

This document outlines potential transportation issues to consider in Phase V of Rhode Island's GHG process, discussed during the Phase IV Stakeholder Meeting on April 28, 2005. Key topics include the continuation of ongoing work, stakeholder suggestions, refinement of the Vehicle Emissions Impact Assessment (VEIA), and evaluation of California's GHG standards. The document emphasizes the need for VMT reduction measures, emission estimates for non-road mobile sources, and congestion management programs. Stakeholder engagement is crucial for identifying additional relevant issues.

  1. Potential Transportation IssuesforConsideration in Phase V Rhode Island GHG Process - Phase IV Stakeholder - Meeting 3 April 28, 2005 410-569-0599 www.meszler.com

  2. Potential Phase V Issues • Potential issues comprise continuation of work in progress and issues suggested by Stakeholders and TLU Members. • Other issues welcome. • Continue refinement of VEIA. • Refine technical approach as appropriate. • Incorporate any results from ongoing regional dialogue. • More detailed evaluation of California GHG standards (AB1493, Pavley). • Consideration of relationship with VEIA. Page 2

  3. Potential Phase V Issues • Continue evaluation and potential development of VMT reduction measures. • PAYD, Parking Cash-Out, Others? • Refine emissions estimates and evaluate potential measures for nonroad mobile sources. • Evaluate “reward” type programs for encouraging personal efficiency improvement actions. • Red, yellow, green. • Benefits for acting green.

  4. Potential Phase V Issues • Evaluate congestion management programs. • GHG implications uncertain. • Reduced congestion will reduce driving costs, exerting upward pressure on VMT. • Improved flow will improve fuel efficiency UP TO a certain point (about 50 mph), so non-highway congestion improvements could be beneficial. • Remaining Action Plan options. • #20: Expand Bicycle/Pedestrian Infrastructures, #21: Commuting Efficiency Program, #22: Commuting Trip Reduction Initiative. • Other issues?
