The UVM Transportation Research Center recently launched a new interactive sustainable transportation tracking tool for Chittenden County. Clare Nelson and Dr. Greg Rowangould worked with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission to create a new interactive data dashboard and mapping application that provides key metrics for evaluating the sustainability of household travel across Chittenden County, Vermont. 

The tool allows users to evaluate changes in greenhouse gas emissions, transportation energy use, and travel demand (the amount of driving) at the vehicle, household, and person level at many different geographic scales. The tool was designed to enable municipalities in the region and their residents to evaluate progress towards greater transportation sustainability and climate goals. The tool enables users to see where changes are occurring and the pace of those changes.
