GHG Measurement

Lightworks by StreetLight Data is an advanced analytics solution designed to measure, model, and monitor transportation-related greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. It combines mobility data, machine learning, and scalable transportation analytics to help governments, planners, and organizations quantify emissions, assess reduction strategies, and support sustainability goals.

Features

• Automated GHG emissions calculation based on real-world mobility patterns
• Granular spatial and temporal analysis for corridors, regions, or customized areas
• Mode-specific emissions insights, including passenger vehicles, freight, transit, and micromobility
• Scenario modeling for assessing the impact of policy or infrastructure changes
• Interactive dashboards for comparing baseline and projected emissions
• Data export capabilities for integration into external reporting tools
• Consistent nationwide data coverage for standardized measurement

Capabilities

• Quantifies CO₂e emissions using observed travel behavior, vehicle mix, and trip characteristics
• Supports regulatory and voluntary reporting frameworks for climate planning
• Evaluates emissions impacts of interventions such as EV adoption, mode shift, and congestion reduction
• Identifies high-emission corridors and hotspots for prioritization
• Integrates with StreetLight’s broader transportation analytics platform for multimodal analysis
• Enables longitudinal tracking of progress toward emissions-reduction targets

Benefits

• Improves climate-action planning with data-driven, defensible GHG estimates
• Reduces reliance on manual data collection or outdated estimation models
• Helps organizations evaluate the ROI of sustainability programs
• Supports transparent communication of environmental impact to stakeholders
• Enables more accurate prioritization of infrastructure and policy investments
• Enhances compliance readiness for federal and regional emissions requirements
