Bill > S3669

This bill, the Generating Resilient, Environmentally Exceptional National Streets Act (GREEN Streets Act), amends federal transportation laws to require consideration of projects and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It establishes new national goals and performance measures related to combating climate change, including minimum standards for states to decrease per capita vehicle miles traveled and reduce greenhouse gas emissions on public roads. The bill also requires metropolitan planning organizations and states to analyze the impact of new highway capacity projects on vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental justice communities. Additionally, it establishes national transit access standards and performance measures, and imposes funding penalties on states that fail to meet greenhouse gas emissions targets for public roads.
