2Other strategies that may be influenced by transportation agencies include • Land use planning, for which transportation agencies may provide regional coordination, funding, and/or technical assistance to support state and local efforts to develop more efficient land use patterns; • Pricing strategies, such as tax and insurance policies, mileage-based pricing, or registration fees, for which transportation agencies may provide analysis support and encourage statelevel policy changes; and • Provision of alternative fuels infrastructure, as well as direct purchase of alternative fuel vehicles for agency fleets. The largest absolute GHG benefits in the transportation sector are likely to come from advancements in vehicle and fuel technologies.

3• Transportation system management strategies that reduce congestion and improve traffic flow may provide modest GHG reductions at lower cost than capacity or system expansion (typically between $50 and $500 per tonne, with lower costs if operating cost savings to drivers are included)

4These analysis steps and key questions are, for the most part, common across all four decisionmaking contexts of the TCAPP framework; that is, they can be used for long-range planning, programming, corridor planning, and environmental review and permitting. However, they might be addressed at different decision points in each context and require somewhat different analysis methods.
