Description

The explanatory statement accompanying the FY 2009 Omnibus appropriation’s act directed the Federal Transit Admin. (FTA) to submit a transit facility green building action plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. As directed, this plan includes an analysis of green rating systems that would be suitable for transit projects; an overview of certified green building transit projects; an inventory of relevant assistance that could be provided to transit agencies; and planned FTA actions, timelines and resources to encourage green building in FTA programs. Green buildings make efficient and effective use of resources and provide a healthy environment for working, learning and living. By applying green building practices to new construction and refurbishment of existing facilities, transit agencies can conserve resources through lower construction, operations, and maintenance expenditures. Contents: (I) Results in Brief; (II) Background; (III) Analysis of Green Building Rating Systems Suitable for Transit Projects; (IV) Overview of Certified Green Building Transit Projects; (V) Federal Assistance to Transit Agencies; (VI) Planned FTA Actions, Timelines and Resources; (VII) Conclusion; (VIII) References; (IX) Appendix A.
