Statewide Transportation Strategy. A multi-year statewide planning effort written in 2012 that examines base and future greenhouse gas emissions from all aspects of the transportation system, including the movement of people and goods. It defined a consensus roadmap and a specific combination of strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by 2050. Specific milestones for achieving each action are in the STS Technical Appendix 5.
