Bill overview
The GREEN Streets Act aims to encourage more environmentally friendly transportation planning by requiring the Department of Transportation to consider greenhouse gas emissions in projects. It mandates that transportation planners incorporate strategies to reduce carbon dioxide and other emissions, particularly on public roads, and establishes minimum standards for States to achieve these goals. The bill also focuses on improving transit accessibility through measures like increased transit stop proximity and mode share, and requires metropolitan planning organizations to analyze the impact of new capacity projects on traffic and environmental justice communities.
