President Joe Biden’s administration announced a new series of highway emissions regulations last week while Americans were traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The new rule, established by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), requires state and local transportation agencies to create greenhouse gas reduction targets to be used for federal-funded road projects.
Announcing the finalized rule, FHWA explained that the agency is taking two major steps to address the “impacts of climate change” through the president’s “whole-of-government approach” to reduce carbon pollution by 50% before 2030.
First, the FHWA said the rule adds a new measure of greenhouse gas performance management to the agency’s national performance measures to create a “national framework” in order to help individual states “track performance” while making “informed investment decisions.” The FHWA also said the new rule would establish a “flexible system” for state Department of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organization agencies to set individual targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
