FTA Announces Availability of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transit Projects: Programmatic Assessment

Published on: April 28, 2024

FTA is announcing the availability of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transit Projects: Programmatic Assessment.

The Programmatic Assessment is a streamlining tool that analyzes estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from the construction, operations, and maintenance phases of certain transit projects. The findings provide a reference for FTA and its project sponsors to use in environmental documents to describe the effects of proposed transit investments on partial lifecycle GHG emissions.

FTA has published a notice summarizing the Programmatic Assessment and providing responses to comments received in the Federal Register. The final Programmatic Assessment will be made available on the U.S. Government’s electronic docket site and FTA’s website.
