1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Purpose
The Municipality of Anchorage, in partnership with Anchorage Metropolitan Area
Transportation Solutions (AMATS) and a selected consultant, are developing a Climate Action
Plan for AMATS, the metropolitan planning organization for Anchorage. This project will build
on the Anchorage Climate Action Plan, adopted May 2019. This data-based product will
inventory current and past Anchorage/Chugiak-Eagle River transportation system greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions (including carbon) in order to quantitatively evaluate actions and set
performance measures to reduce future GHG emissions and adapt to and mitigate climate
impacts related to transportation. This project will focus on equity and include a strategic
implementation plan.
1.2 Background
The Municipality of Anchorage completed its first Climate Action Plan in May 2019, which
included Land Use and Transportation as one of seven sectors within the plan. Within that
sector, the plan covered improving transit options and non-motorized accessibility to major
centers, encouraging land use planning that reduces the distance people have to travel by
single occupancy vehicles and increases community resiliency, and transition to vehicles that
are highly efficient and run on low-carbon and renewable energy fuels, among other goals,
objectives, and action steps. The AMATS Climate Action Plan will be the first plan of its kind for
RFP 2024P010

the Anchorage area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). It will build on the existing
Anchorage Climate Action Plan, inventory transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
evaluate strategies to reduce future emissions, update equity data from the AMATS Non-
Motorized Plan (2021), and engage a broad array of stakeholders throughout the development
of the plan.
