On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would Assist states and municipalities in tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the announcement would use an allocated $27 billion in BIL funds to establish a national framework for tracking state-by-state progress on greenhouse gas emission reductions by adding state performance management measures to the existing FHWA national performance measures, and create a system for state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations to set their own targets for on-road greenhouse gas emissions from roadway travel on the national highway system.
