Dave Ekern (Virginia DOT) welcomed the
audience and introduced the panel.
Cindy Burbank, PB Americas,
presented 10 Key Strategies to Reduce
Transportation Green House Gases (GHG).
There are ten areas where our focus
should be placed:
1. Federal Cap and Trade Legislation
2. Auto Technology
3. Low-Carbon Fuels
4. Lower VMT Growth
5. Transportation Pricing
6. Carpool/Vanpool, Transit, Bike/Ped,
Telecommute, Trip-chaining
7. Land use/compact development
8. Vehicle/System Operations
9. Freight
10. DOT construction, maintenance,
operations
Gloria Shepherd, FHWA, presented
Climate Change and Transportation.
The key strategies for reducing
transportation emissions are:
1. Raise vehicle energy efficiency
2. Reduce carbon content of fuels
3. Reduce VMT growth through land use
and more modal options
4. Improve vehicle and transportation
system operations
Climate change needs to be incorporated
into transportation planning, but not at
the project level (i.e. for conformity NEPA
process).
Ed Cole, Tennessee DOT, presented
Global Climate Change: Context and
Challenges for Tennessee.
The southeast is the fastest growing
region in the country. Therefore, TDOT’s
approach to the issue are as follows:
1. Help define the issue
2. Build partnerships
3. TDOT practices – planning
4. TDOT operations
Kathy Neill, Florida DOT, presented
Climate Change: Florida.
A Climate Change Summit in 2007 resulted
in three executive orders: immediate
actions by state agencies, rulemaking to
reduce emissions statewide and create
the energy/climate change action team.
FDOT’s strategies for reducing emissions
from the transportation sector include:
increasing transportation system efficiency
and reducing the growth rate in travel.
2008 State Legislation helps pave the way
for addressing the climate issue.

The spirit of Buck Rogers is alive and
well and still pioneering the future of
aviation, says SASHTO’s airport panel.
“Preparing for the future is our theme,”
said moderator William Ashbaker, “and
it’s challenging, given the radically new
methods of air transportation.”
With new technology for navigational
aids in the cockpit (GPS systems) and in
space (satellites), air travel in the 21st
century is changing dramatically. Aircraft
is changing, as well, to accommodate
different travel needs and markets.
Speakers acknowledged people have
transportation choices and noted FDOT
Secretary Kopelousos’ statement, “Today
travel is a trade-off between time and
money.” Meeting different needs brings
“opposites” into the discussion.
At one end of the spectrum, very light
jets (VLJ), like DayJet’s three-seater, are
developing a growing group of customers.
“On-demand service between regions is
attracting businessmen and women opting
out of six hours of travel on the highway,”
said DayJet Corporation director Malcolm
Murphy.
Florida-based DayJet, in fact, is rapidly
growing as it develops its niche connecting
regions both within the state and among
southeastern states. In 2007, DayJet had
five aircraft and operated in five markets in
Florida. Ten months later, in August 2008,
DayJet has expanded to 28 aircraft serving
61 markets in seven states.
At the other end of the spectrum, new
large aircraft (NLA), like the Airbus
A380, will bring up to 800 passengers
to destinations. Bus aviation will grow,
too, at a quick pace. Airports will need to
accommodate NLA and today very few can.
