EPA Goal 1: Climate Change and Improving Air Quality |
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.
