TERI Database Administrator Notes: Not recommended at present time by 2009 Air Quality Subcommittee. This goal of the research would be to uncover potential benefits of addressing climate change (green-house…
Run cars and trucks containing crash dummies off simulated highways into tall native herbaceous vegetation within the clear zone, masses of native shrubs within the clear zone and into low…
How are (or will) strategies for climate change take into account cultural considerations, especially with respect to environmental justice populations and historic values/historic preservation, on transportation projects?
How can models and methodologies be improved with respect to sensitivity to mitigation strategies such as land use and pricing; greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; how to quantify GHGs/carbon, and approaches…
How can we facilitate wildlife movement vis-a-vis transportation networks and transportation planning in the face of climate change?
How will we address uncertainty related to climate change impacts (esp cumulative impacts) in environmental impact analysis, planning, policy, etc.?
How can energy and environmental modeling be linked to support decisionmaking aimed at energy efficiency for different scales, state plans, MPO plans, and project alternative analysis?
What strategies including incentives and reducing VMT could be explored to build local economies (goods/services) to reduce VMT, increase livability measures and minimize energy use?
What messages on climate change and energy are most effective with what audiences: decision-makers, transportation practitioners, system users? How can we communicate effects, provide options/incentives, policies (i.e., pricing)?
How can we address livability in NEPA and other cross-cutting legislation?
