known to have an interest in transportation GHG, climate, and/or equity issues; two peer exchanges with State DOTs, one focused on GHG emissions and one on climate change effects, to discuss current approaches and needs for additional guidance and resources; and pilot applications of the complete draft guide with two State DOTs, each including a series of three to five workshops focusing on various elements of the guide. Key Findings The review and outreach found that many State DOTs are working to incorporate the treatment of GHG emissions, climate change effects, or both in project planning and environmental reviews.
