5 I-1. TOD Standard v2.0 The TOD Standard v2.0 addresses transit-adjacent developments which maximize the benefits of public transit in both developed and developing countries. Transit-oriented development (TOD) implies development to support, facilitate, and prioritize the use of public transport, walking, and cycling. The ITDP publication outlines eight key principles for guiding a nontechnical audience, everyone from developers to interested local residents, through the successful development of TODs. The TOD Standard elaborates these principles providing measurable performance objectives. The key principles are measured and rated within the categories: walk, cycle, connect, transit, mix, densify, compact, and shift.

6 I-2. The BRT Standard 2013 The BRT Standard was developed to create a common definition of bus rapid transit and recognize high-quality BRT systems around the world. It also functions as a technical tool to guide and encourage municipalities to consider the key features of the best BRT systems as they move through the design process. It certifies the achievement of BRT corridors within the hierarchy of international best practice. The performance of BRT is measured within 6 accessible performance categories and 32 subcategories. A BRT system might be awarded up to 100 points and ranked as gold, silver, bronze, or basic. Published by: ITDP, GIZ, ClimateWorks Foundation, ICCT, and Rockefeller Foundation.

19 II. Quantification Tools Page 19

20 II-1. Integrated Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Emissions Accounting for Companies The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) is used as an accounting tool for government and business leaders to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas emissions. However, while the GHG Protocol includes six main GHG emissions, it does not take into consideration main air pollutants. Measuring air pollutants from energy use (particulate matter (PM), SO2, NOx, CO, depending on the energy type) might as well be important. The accounting tool therefore lays a scope on external combustions units, company-owned vehicles, stationary internal combustion sources, liquefied petroleum gas use, gas flares, waste, domestic wastewater, and indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Published by: Clean Air Asia. Latest version (2010) available on org/portal/whatwedo/pr ojects/ghgaccounting Page 20

21 II-2. Transport Emissions Evaluation Model (TEEMP) Tool The TEEMP tools are sketch models which enable the estimation of emissions in both project and no-project scenarios and can be used for evaluating short to long term impacts of transport projects. TEEMP primarily evaluates the impacts of transport projects on CO2 emissions and to some extent air pollutant emission. The TEEMP tools have been developed in such a way that required input data are based on what data is available and easily accessible. Models are available for projects as bus rapid transit, metro, railways, walkability facility improvement, bike sharing, bikeways, commuter strategies, and road development. Published by: Clean Air Asia, ITDP, ADB, Cambridge Systematics and UNEP. Latest version (duration 2010 to present) available on Page 21

22 II-3. Mitigation Strategies and Accounting Methods for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transportation This document provides a list of 11 transport strategies containing 39 innovative GHG reduction measures in the transport sector, applicable to Latin America and the Caribbean cities. These measures are based on the Avoid-Shift-Improve paradigm for sustainable transport and include both passenger and freight movement solutions, guidance on implementation costs and difficulty levels, and GHG reduction impacts. Published by: Inter-American Development Bank. Latest version (2013) available on ocnum= Page 22

23 II-4. MRV of cycling This paper acknowledges that climate change is seldom the primary driver for supporting cycling in cities in developing countries. However, the monitoring, reporting and verifying (MRV) of emission reductions from cycling projects requires quantifying the number of kilometres cycled and identifying the alternative mode - the form of transport that would have been used by cyclists had the cycling project not been implemented. This report identifies benefits of and barriers to cycling, aimed at supporting policy-makers at city level with their ambition to advance cycling Published by: Inter-American Development Bank. Latest version (2013) available on Page 23

24 II-5. HBEFA The Handbook of Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA) was originally developed on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agencies of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. HBEFA provides emission factors, i.e. the specific emission in g/km for all current vehicle categories (PC, LDV, HDV, buses and motor cycles), each divided into different categories, for a wide variety of traffic situations. Emission factors for all regulated and the most important non-regulated pollutants as well as fuel consumption and CO2 are included. Published by: HBEFA.

34 III-9. Complete Streets Design Guidelines Complete Streets is a US design concept which integrates different means of transport into street design to positively impact safety, health, economies, and environments. However, due to the lack of superior national planning guidelines in the US there is no singular design prescription for Complete Streets. Jurisdictions on different levels have been issuing their unique Complete Streets design guidelines. Now over 488 communities in 27 states have adopted Complete Streets policies. The impact of Complete Streets has yet not been measured. However, Smart Growth America and The National Complete Streets Coalition have developed a ranking system to measure and assess the preliminary policy model in ten categories.
