Bill > HR4520

This bill, the Generating Resilient, Environmentally Exceptional National Streets Act (or the GREEN Streets Act), amends Title 23 of the United States Code to require transportation planners to consider projects and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The key provisions include: establishing national goals and performance management measures related to combating climate change and reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions; requiring metropolitan planning organizations and states to analyze the impact of capacity-increasing projects on vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse gas emissions, and non-single-occupancy-vehicle trips; and establishing minimum standards for states to decrease per capita vehicle miles traveled and improve the resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of public roads.
