VMT Vehicle miles traveled is a metric used in transportation planning to GHG Greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat in the air and causes climate measure the cumulative miles traveled by all vehicles in a geographic change. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), region over a given time period. nitrous oxide (N20), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). EO Executive Order for the State of California. GWP Global warming potential is a measure that allows comparison of global warming impacts among different types of GHGs. Different SB Senate Bill in the State of California. GHGs can have different impacts on the Earth's warming. For ZEV Zero emission vehicles are vehicles that emit no carbon pollution example, compared to CO2, methane has 84 times the GWP of CO2 during operations.
