USDOT launched a climate action playbook to help counties reduce emissions.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) recently released a playbook on research-based climate action strategies for State, Tribal, and local governments. The “Climate Strategies That Work” playbook includes 28 climate solutions to help communities reduce carbon pollution and create a more resilient, sustainable, and accessible transportation system for all Americans.
The “Climate Strategies That Work” playbook emphasizes efficient, convenient, clean transportation solutions supporting safe and economically vibrant communities. Strategies span infrastructure investments, technology applications, and policy strategies. These include active transportation, electric vehicles, and freight operational efficiencies for use by rural and urban communities. The strategies are informed by the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and include information on achieving greenhouse gas reduction, economic development, and safety benefits, along with implementation funding opportunities and case studies that illustrate the impacts of these strategies in action.
The playbook is a critical step to supporting State, Tribal, regional, city, and local climate action planning as well as philanthropic and private industry climate action strategies.
