Abstract

In recent years, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has sought to better understand global climate change and the transportation sector’s effects on the issue, and vice versa. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) transportation authorization bill provides opportunities for State and Federal agencies to conduct research on innovative practices that may reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, by extension, the transportation sector’s contribution to climate change effects and impacts. As such, this research investigates the state of the practice in accommodating renewable energy technologies and alternative fuel facilities within highway right-of-way (ROW), both activities that might help curb climate change.
