Transportation Emission Reduction Measures

Transportation Emission Reduction Measures (TERMs) are strategies or actions that the TPB can employ to offset increases in nitrogen oxide (NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from mobile sources. All TERMs are intended to reduce either the number of vehicle trips (VT), vehicle miles traveled (VMT), or both. These strategies may include ridesharing and telecommuting programs, improved transit and bicycling facilities, clean fuel vehicle programs or other possible actions.
