15 RI GHG Stakeholder Process Progress & Accomplishments

16 RI GHG Stakeholder Process Phase IV Phase IV Draft Work Plan (1) Follow-Up on Phase II/III Actions Finalized (close as many as possible) (2) VMT Measures (3) Fossil Fuel Retrofit Funding/(SBC) Program (4) Education and Outreach Campaign (5) Forestry Programs

17 RI GHG Stakeholder Process Phase IV Phase IV Draft Work Plan (6) Solid Waste – Resource Management (if funded) (and possibly Pay-as-you-Throw) (7) Update Modeling (8) Setting Up Tracking System for Implemented Options (9) Review plans from other states for new options (10) Set renewable purchase targets for state government buildings and facilities

18 RI GHG Stakeholder Process Phase IV Possible Phase IV VMT Reduction Measures (1) Establishment of Vehicle Fee Zones (i.e., urban core zones where vehicles must pay a fee (obtain a permit) to operate) (2) HOV Lanes (3) HOV Preferences (parking, fee exemptions, toll exemptions) (4) Transit Expansion (including vans, bus, rail) (5) Transit User Subsidies (6) Emissions Fees (pay for privilege to emit -- CO2 and/or criteria pollutants -- has interesting synergies in that it also promotes emissions maintenance)

19 RI GHG Stakeholder Process Phase IV Possible Phase IV VMT Reduction Measures (7) Annual VMT Fee (8) Time-of-Day Roadway Fees (9) Parking Fees (10) Employer Trip Reduction Requirements (11) Flex-Time Programs (12) Telecommuting Programs

20 RI GHG Stakeholder Process Phase IV Possible Phase IV VMT Reduction Measures (13) TOD (14) "Village" Based Development (i.e., mixed homes and services) (15) Biking and Pedestrian Facility Development (16) Gas Tax (17) Pay-as-You-Go Insurance (18) Smart Traffic Signals
