Bill > HR7286

This bill, the Generating Resilient, Environmentally Exceptional National Streets Act (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 greenhouse gas-related performance measures, requiring metropolitan planning organizations and states to analyze the impact of projects that increase traffic capacity on per capita vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions, and imposing penalties on states that fail to meet greenhouse gas emission reduction targets on public roads. The bill also establishes national standards and performance measures for transit accessibility, stop distance, and mode share, and requires covered entities (metropolitan planning areas with at least 250,000 people) to set targets and report on these measures.
