Subject: These rules set targets for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions from light vehicle travel for each of the state’s metropolitan areas
for the year 2035 to aid in meeting the state goal in ORS 468A.205 to reduce
the state’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 to 75 percent below 1990 levels.
The targets
provide guidance to local governments in metropolitan areas on the level of
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to plan for as they conduct land use and
transportation scenario planning. Land use and transportation scenario planning
to meet the targets is required of the Portland metropolitan area and is
encouraged, but not required, in other metropolitan areas.
Land use and
transportation scenario planning is intended to be a means for local
governments in metropolitan areas to explore ways that urban development
patterns and transportation systems would need to be changed to achieve
significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel.
Scenario planning is a means to address benefits and costs of different actions
to accomplish reductions in ways that allow communities to assess how
communities meet other important needs, including accommodating economic
development and housing needs, expanding transportation options, and reducing
transportation costs.
Rules Coordinator: Casaria Tuttle—(503) 373-0050, ext. 322

Purpose
(1) This division implements provisions of section 37 (6),
chapter 865, Oregon Laws 2009, and section 5 (1), chapter 85, Oregon Laws 2010,
that direct the Land Conservation and Development Commission (“commission”) to
adopt rules setting targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from light
vehicle travel for each of the state’s metropolitan areas for the year 2035 to
aid in meeting the state goal in ORS 468A.205 to reduce the state’s greenhouse
gas emissions in 2050 to 75 percent below 1990 levels.
(2) The targets in this division provide guidance to
local governments in metropolitan areas on the level of reduction in greenhouse
gas emissions to achieve as they conduct land use and transportation scenario
planning. Land use and transportation scenario planning to meet the targets in
this division is required of the Portland metropolitan area and is encouraged,
but not required, in other metropolitan areas. Success in developing scenarios
that meet the targets will depend in large part on the state funding for
scenario planning; on the state developing strategies and actions that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel within metropolitan areas;
and on state and local governments jointly and actively engaging the public on
the costs and benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
(3) Land use and transportation scenario planning is
intended to be a means for local governments in metropolitan areas to explore
ways that urban development patterns and transportation systems would need to
be changed to achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from
light vehicle travel. Scenario planning is a means to address benefits and
costs of different actions to accomplish reductions in ways that allow
communities to assess how to meet other important needs, including
accommodating economic development and housing needs, expanding transportation
options and reducing transportation costs.
(4) The expected result of land use and transportation
scenario planning is information on the extent of changes to land use patterns
and transportation systems in metropolitan areas needed to significantly reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel in metropolitan areas,
including information about the benefits and costs of achieving those
reductions. The results of land use and transportation scenario planning are
expected to inform local governments as they update their comprehensive plans,
and to inform the legislature, state agencies and the public as the state
develops and implements an overall strategy to meet state goals to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions.
(5) The greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in
this division are intended to guide an initial round of land use and
transportation scenario planning over the next two to four years. The targets
are based on available information and current estimates about key factors,
including improvements in vehicle technologies and fuels. Pursuant to OAR 660
044 0035, the commission shall review the targets by June 1, 2015, based on the
results of scenario planning, and updated information about expected changes in
vehicle technologies and fuels, state policies and other factors.
(6) Success in meeting the targets will require a
combination of local, regional and state actions. State actions include not
only improvements in vehicle technology and fuels, but also other statewide
efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel. These
efforts — which are programs and actions to be implemented at the state
level — are currently under review by the Oregon Department of Transportation
as part of its Statewide Transportation Strategy to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. As metropolitan areas develop scenario plans to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions and compare them to the targets in this division, it is incumbent
that metropolitan areas and the state work as partners, with a shared
responsibility of determining how local and statewide actions and programs can
reach the targets.
(7) Nothing in this division is intended to amend
statewide planning goals or administrative rules adopted to implement statewide
planning goals.

Definitions
For the purposes of this division, the definitions in
ORS 197.015 and the statewide planning goals apply. In addition, the following
definitions shall apply:
(1) “1990 baseline emissions” means the estimate of
greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel in each metropolitan area
for the year 1990, as presented by the Department of Environmental Quality and
the Oregon Department of Energy included in the Agencies’ Technical Report.
(2) “2005 emissions levels” means an estimate of
greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel in a metropolitan area for
the year 2005.
(3) “2035 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal”
means the percentage reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle
travel in a metropolitan area needed by the year 2035 in order to meet the
state goal of a 75 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990
levels by the year 2050 as recommended by the Department of Environmental
Quality and the Oregon Department of Energy in the Agencies’ Technical Report.
(4) “Agencies’ Technical Report” means the report
prepared by the Oregon Department of Transportation, the Department of
Environmental Quality and the Oregon Department of Energy and submitted to the
commission on March 1, 2011, that provides information and estimates about
vehicle technologies and vehicle fleet to support adoption of greenhouse gas
reduction targets as required by section 37(7), chapter 865, Oregon Laws 2009,
and section 5(2), chapter 85, Oregon Laws 2010.
(5) “Greenhouse gas” means any gas that contributes to
anthropogenic global warming including, but not limited to, carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. ORS 468A.210(2). Greenhouse
gases are generally measured in terms of CO2 equivalents — CO2e —
which means the quantity of a given greenhouse gas multiplied by a global
warming potential factor provided in a state-approved emissions reporting
protocol.
(6) “Greenhouse gas emissions reduction target” or
“target” means the percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from light
vehicle travel within a metropolitan area from 2005 emissions levels that is to
be met by the year 2035 through scenario planning. Greenhouse gas emissions
reduction targets are expressed as a percentage reduction in emissions per
capita, i.e., total emissions divided by the population of the metropolitan
area. Targets represent additional reductions from 2005 emissions levels beyond
reductions in vehicle emissions that are likely to result by 2035 from the use
of improved vehicle technologies and fuels and changes to the vehicle fleet.
When determining whether a scenario meets a target, the reduction per capita is
to be calculated as a percentage of the emissions per capita assuming 2005
light vehicle travel per capita and 2035 baseline assumptions for light vehicle
technologies, fuels and fleet as set forth in Tables 1 and 2 of OAR 660 044
0010. The combined effect of the baseline assumptions for light vehicle
technologies, fuels and fleet from 1990 to 2035, estimated changes to light
vehicle travel from 1990 to 2005, and scenario planning to meet targets from
2005 to 2035 is to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal from 1990
to 2035.
(7) “Greenhouse gas emissions reduction toolkit” means
the toolkit prepared by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the
department to assist local governments in developing and executing actions and
programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel in
metropolitan areas as provided in section 4, chapter 85, Oregon Laws 2010.
(8) “Land use and transportation scenario planning”
means the preparation and evaluation by local governments of two or more land
use and transportation scenarios and the cooperative selection of a preferred
scenario that accommodates planned population and employment growth while
achieving a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel in
the metropolitan area. Land use and transportation scenario planning may
include preparation and evaluation of alternative scenarios that do not meet
targets specified in this division.
(9) “Light vehicles” means
motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less.
(10) “Light vehicle travel within a metropolitan area”
means trips made by light vehicles that begin and end within the same
metropolitan planning area, and that portion of other trips made by light
vehicles that occurs within the metropolitan planning area, including a portion
of through trips (i.e., trips that pass through the metropolitan planning area
but do not begin or end there) and that portion within the metropolitan
planning area of other light vehicle trips that begin or end within the
metropolitan planning area. Trips and portions of trips that
are within the metropolitan planning area are illustrated by solid lines as shown in Figure 1. [Figures not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(11) “Metropolitan planning area” or “metropolitan
area” means lands within the boundary of a metropolitan planning organization
as of the effective date of this division.
(12) “Metropolitan planning organization” means an
organization located wholly within the State of Oregon and designated by the
Governor to coordinate transportation planning in an urbanized area of the
state pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5303(c). ORS 197.629(7). Included are metropolitan planning organizations for the following areas: the
Portland metropolitan area, the Bend metropolitan area, the Corvallis
metropolitan area, the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area, the Salem-Keizer
metropolitan area and the Rogue Valley metropolitan area.
(13) “Scenario planning guidelines” means the
guidelines established by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the
department to assist local governments in conducting land use and
transportation scenario planning to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from light
vehicle travel in metropolitan areas as provided in section 3, chapter 85,
Oregon Laws 2010.
(14) “Statewide Transportation Strategy” means the statewide
strategy adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission as part of the state
transportation policy to aid in achieving the greenhouse gas emissions
reduction goals set forth in ORS 468A.205 as provided in section 2, chapter 85,
Oregon Laws 2010.

Target Setting Process and
Considerations
(1) This rule describes information and factors that
provide the basis for greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets included in
this division. The purpose of this rule is to inform local governments and the
public about information that was relied upon to set greenhouse gas emissions
reduction targets, to inform local governments as they conduct land use and
transportation scenario planning, and to inform the department and commission
in the review and evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets as
required in OAR 660 044 0035.
(2) Section 37 (6), chapter 865, Oregon Laws 2009, and
section 5 (1), chapter 85, Oregon Laws 2010, direct the commission to adopt
rules identifying greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for emissions
caused by light vehicle travel for each of the state’s metropolitan areas.
These statutes direct that the rules must reflect greenhouse gas emissions
reduction goals set forth in ORS 468A.205 and must take into consideration the
reductions in vehicle emissions that are likely to result by 2035 from the use
of improved vehicle technologies and fuels. The statutes also direct that the
rules must take into consideration methods of equitably allocating reductions
among the metropolitan areas given differences in population growth rates. The
commission has addressed these statutory considerations as follows:
(a) Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from light
vehicle travel needed in 2035 to achieve the state goal of a 75 percent
greenhouse gas reduction by 2050. Based on recommendations from the Department
of Environmental Quality and the Oregon Department of Energy in the Agencies’
Technical Report, the commission concludes that a reduction of 52 percent in
greenhouse gas emissions from light vehicle travel in metropolitan areas from
1990 levels is needed by the year 2035 to support achieving greenhouse gas
emissions reduction goals for 2050 set forth in ORS 468A.205. Based on
population projections, the overall 52 percent reduction corresponds to a 74
percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per capita from light vehicle
travel in metropolitan areas from 1990 levels by the year 2035. This percentage
reduction assumes steady year-by-year progress per capita through 2050 in
reducing emissions and that the reduction in light vehicle emissions will be
proportionate to the overall state goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In reaching this conclusion, the commission notes that absent a Statewide
Transportation Strategy and plan for achieving greenhouse gas emissions
reductions there is no policy or other basis at this time for assuming that
light vehicle travel in metropolitan areas should be responsible for a larger
or smaller share of expected statewide greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
(b) Consideration of reductions in vehicle emissions
likely to result by 2035 from use of improved vehicle technologies and fuels.
(A) The commission has considered recommendations from
the Oregon Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental
Quality and the Oregon Department of Energy about expected changes to the light
vehicle fleet, vehicle technologies and vehicle fuels through the year 2035 as
set forth in the Agencies’ Technical Report. The commission notes that the
Agencies’ Technical Report indicates considerable uncertainty and a broad range
of possible outcomes for each of the relevant factors. The commission concludes
that a midpoint in the range of plausible fleet, technologies and fuel outcomes
provides a reasonable basis for greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to
guide an initial round of land use and transportation scenario planning. The
baseline assumptions for 2035 light vehicle fleet, light vehicle technologies
and vehicle fuels for each metropolitan area are set forth in Tables 1 and 2.
(B) The
greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in this division are for greenhouse
gas emissions reductions to be met through land use and transportation scenario
planning and are in addition to reductions estimated to result from changes to
the light vehicle fleet, light vehicle technologies and light vehicle fuels in
Tables 1 and 2.
(C) In evaluating whether a proposed land use and
transportation scenario combined with actions and programs included in the
Statewide Transportation Strategy meets greenhouse gas emissions reduction
targets in this division, a local government or metropolitan planning
organization may include:
(i) Policies or actions included in the Statewide
Transportation Strategy that the Oregon Department of Transportation estimates
are likely to result in changes to vehicle fleet, technologies or fuels above
and beyond the values listed in Tables 1 and 2;
(ii) Local or regional programs or actions identified
in a land use and transportation scenario plan that are likely to result in
changes to vehicle fleet, technologies or fuels above and beyond the values
listed in Tables 1 and 2. One example of such an action would be a local or regional
program that is estimated to result in use of hybrid or electric vehicles in a
metropolitan area at greater than the eight percent statewide assumption for
the 2035 model year provided in Table 1; and
(iii) Policies or actions included in the Statewide
Transportation Strategy, other than those attributable to changes in vehicle
fleet, technologies or fuels. Examples of such an action would be increased
inter-city transit or pay-as-you-drive insurance. The Oregon Department of
Transportation would coordinate with local governments and metropolitan
planning organizations in each metropolitan area on estimating the amount of
greenhouse gas emissions reductions expected to result within the metropolitan
area from these programs and actions.
(c) Equitable allocation of responsibility for
greenhouse gas emissions reductions among metropolitan areas considering
differences in population growth rates. The greenhouse gas emissions reduction
targets in this division are in the form of percentage reductions in emissions
per capita. The greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for individual
metropolitan areas range from 17 percent to 21 percent per capita. The
commission concludes that setting the targets in the form of per capita
reductions and adoption of comparable per capita reductions for each of the
state’s six metropolitan areas assures that those metropolitan areas that are
expected to experience higher than average rates of population growth between
1990 and 2035 do not bear a greater responsibility for emissions reductions
than metropolitan areas that are expected to grow more slowly.
(d) Use of 2005 as a reference year for greenhouse gas
emissions reduction targets. The greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in
this division are set forth as reductions to be achieved from 2005 emissions
levels. 2005 is specified as a reference year for greenhouse gas reduction
targets because more detailed data on emissions and light vehicle travel in
metropolitan areas is available for this date than for 1990, the base year set
by statute, and because it corresponds better with adopted land use and
transportation plans and will thus enable local governments to better estimate
what changes to land use and transportation plans might be needed to achieve greenhouse
gas emissions reduction targets. While the targets are specified as reductions
from 2005 emissions levels, the targets have been set at a level that
corresponds to the required reduction from 1990 levels to be achieved by 2035.

Methods for Estimating Greenhouse
Gas Emissions and Emissions Reductions
(1) Local governments conducting land use and
transportation scenario planning to meet greenhouse gas emissions reductions
targets established in this division may use information and methods for
estimating greenhouse gas emissions levels from light vehicle travel
recommended by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the department as
set forth in the greenhouse gas emissions reduction toolkit, or as otherwise
approved by the director of the department and the director of the Oregon
Department of Transportation.
(2) Local governments conducting land use and
transportation scenario planning to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction
targets established in this division may use methods recommended by the Oregon
Department of Transportation, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and
the Oregon Department of Energy to account for additional greenhouse gas
emissions resulting from increased traffic congestion or reductions in emissions
resulting from measures that reduce traffic congestion in estimating greenhouse

Oregon Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental Quality,
the Oregon Department of Energy or other agencies regarding greenhouse gas
emissions from light vehicle travel in metropolitan areas, including but not
limited to changes to vehicle technologies, fuels and the vehicle fleet;
(f) Changes in population growth rates, metropolitan
planning area boundaries, land use or development patterns in metropolitan
planning areas that affect light vehicle travel in metropolitan areas;
(g) Efforts by local governments in metropolitan areas
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources;
(h) Input from affected local governments and metropolitan
planning organizations;
(i) Land use feasibility and economic studies regarding
land use densities;
(j) State funding and support for scenario planning and
