EPA Goal 1: Climate Change and Improving Air Quality

Transportation Climate Change Clearinghouse (TCCC)

Purpose
The Department of Transportation established the Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting in 1999 to play a leadership role in meeting these challenges. The Transportation Climate Change Clearinghouse (TCCC) has become the focal point within USDOT for information and technical expertise on transportation and climate change, working with its component organizations to coordinate related research, policies, and actions. The Center promotes comprehensive multimodal approaches to reduce GHG emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change on the transportation system, while advancing USDOT's core goals of safety, mobility, environmental stewardship, and security. Through strategic research, policy analysis, partnerships, and outreach, the Center creates comprehensive and multi-modal approaches to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gases and to mitigate the effects of global climate change on the transportation network.
