Abstract

As evidence mounted on the effect of human development on global climate change, reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions became a major consideration in the planning of transportation systems as well as other areas of human activity. California was the first state to set a limit on GHG emissions. Other states and metropolitan attempted to limit GHG emissions by reducing vehicle usage and shifting traffic to alternative modes including walking and biking. Some areas tackled spreading land development patterns that caused increased vehicle travel by implementing compact development with mixed uses. And the federal government issued guidance to reduce GHG emissions.
