GREEN Streets Act

This bill establishes new federal performance measures requiring states to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, decrease vehicle miles traveled, and improve transit accessibility. It directly affects states and metropolitan areas receiving federal transportation funds, mandating analysis of projects that increase traffic capacity and demonstrating cost-effectiveness compared to public transit alternatives. States failing to meet emissions targets face penalties requiring them to allocate more federal funds toward emissions-reducing projects like transit expansion and active transportation infrastructure. The bill also creates national standards for measuring transit accessibility, stop distance, and mode share to improve public transportation access and usage.
