Climate Change and Environmental Justice Impacts. The Recipient states that rows marked with “X” in the following table are accurate: The Project significantly reduces transportation-related pollution, like air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. (Describe the expected reductions and how they are achieved in the supporting narrative below.) The Project aligns with an applicable State, regional, or local carbon-reduction plan. (Identify the plan in the supporting narrative below.) The Project addresses the disproportionate negative environmental impacts of transportation, such as exposure to elevated levels of air, water, and noise pollution. (Describe how in the supporting narrative below.) The Project implements transportation-efficient land use and design, such as drawing on the features of historic towns and villages that had a mix of land uses, compact and walkable development patterns, accessible green space, and neighborhood centers. (Describe how in the supporting narrative below.) The Project shifts freight to lower-carbon travel modes to reduce emissions. (Describe how in the supporting narrative below.) The Project improves the resiliency of at-risk infrastructure to withstand extreme weather events and natural disasters caused by climate change, such as by using best-available climate data sets, information resources, and decision-support tools, and incorporating best practices identified by the USDOT. (Identify the at-risk infrastructure and describe how the project improves its resiliency in the supporting narrative below.) The Project incorporates energy efficient investments, such as electrification or zero emission vehicle infrastructure. (Describe the energy efficient investments in the supporting narrative below.) The Project redevelops xxxxxxxxxx sites. (Identify the xxxxxxxxxx sites and describe the redevelopment in the supporting narrative below.) The Project removes, replaces, or restores culverts to improve passage of aquatic species. (Identify the affected culverts and describe how the changes will improve the passage of aquatic species in the supporting narrative below.) The Project avoids adverse impacts to air or water quality, wetlands, and endangered species. (Describe how in the supporting narrative below.) The Project includes floodplain upgrades consistent with the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard in Executive Orders 14030 and 13690. (Describe those floodplain upgrades in the supporting narrative below.) The Recipient has taken other actions to consider climate ch...
