GHG Mitigation Policy Analysis Tool and Reference Sourcebook(January 2012) - The Energy and Emissions Reduction Policy Analysis Tool (EERPAT) was developed by FHWA for use by State DOTs to model a large number of inputs and policy scenarios to support strategic transportation and visioning including GHG emissions reduction alternatives. The tool can be used to assist State DOTs in analyzing GHG reduction scenarios and alternatives for use in the transportation planning process, climate action plans, scenario planning exercises, and meeting state GHG reduction targets and goals. A Mitigation Reference Sourcebook has also been developed to accompany the tool, which describes the strategies, estimates the potential range of GHG reductions, estimates costs, identifies barriers to implementation, identifies example projects, and describes any associated co-benefits or disadvantages.
Modeling Assistance – The FHWA Resource Center Air Quality Technical Services Team can provide assistance with the use of existing and new models and tools to analyze GHG emissions, including a workshop on EPA's MOVES Model.
